The micronucleus assay in the zebra mussel, Dreissena polymorpha, to in situ monitor genotoxicity in freshwater environments

Caged zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, were transplanted to 6 monitoring sites receiving industrial effluents suspected of containing genotoxic chemicals. After a residence time of 2 months, the induction of micronuclei (MN) in haemocytes was determined as a criterion for genetic damage. The mea...
