Chromosome Aberrations Induction in Freshwater Mussel  Dreissena polymorpha  on 3-Methylcholanthrene Exposure

The influence of 3-methylcholanthrene to zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) larvae was studied. The artificial spawning of zebra mussels was used for obtaining larvae. Two different concentrations of 3-methylcholanthrene were used. The chromosome analysis showed a significant increase in chromosome aberrations (CA) at the higher concentration of the compound. The resistance of zebra mussel larvae to the lower concentration of 3-methylcholanthrene indicated that zebra mussel larvae are probably not sensitive enough for the study of genotoxicity of the compounds from the PAH group.
