Genetic effects of mercury contamination on aquatic snail populations: allozyme genotypes and DNA strand breakage.

Environmental toxicology and chemistry - 1 Mar 2002

Benton Michael J, Malott Michelle L, Trybula Jan, Dean Deborah M, Guttman Sheldon I

Abstract excerpt

Allozyme data and DNA strand break frequencies were compared among populations of Pleurocera canaliculatum from five sites with varying mercury contamination on the North Fork Holston River (NFHR) in southwestern Virginia, USA. Allozyme genotype frequencies for four loci were significantly different between populations from the three most highly contaminated sites and those from two lesser contaminated sites. In...
