Effects of radiation on reproductive success of the polychaete worm Neanthes arenaceodentata
Description
The principal objective of this study was to obtain information on the effects of acute and chronic radiation on the reproductive success of a relatively low-fecundity invertebrate marine animal. N. arenaceodentata were irradiated with a sealed external source and their broods sacrificed before hatching occurred to obtain information on brood size, number of abnormal embryos, and on the number of living, dying, and dead embryos. The data obtained from this study are useful in evaluating the effects of radiation on marine organisms and are applicable in assessments of ocean disposal of radioactive materials
