Description
The available methods for the detection of radiation-induced mutations in teleost fish are reviewed. The importance of proper irradiation procedures combined with timing of gametogenesis is stressed. Several qualitative abnormalities of the vertebral system can be used as sensitive indicators of radiation damage which can be quantified in certain circumstances. In addition, behaviour and viability are two general characteristics that can also be used to assess low-level radiation-induced mutations. (author)
