Histological, Genotoxic, and Biochemical Effects on Cnesterodon decemmaculatus (Jenyns 1842) (Cyprinodontiformes, Poeciliidae): Early Response Bioassays to Assess the Impact of Receiving Waters

Figure 3

Analysis of micronuclei frequency in peripheral blood erythrocytes of Cnesterodon decemmaculatus exposed to different treatments. Treatments: NC (negative control, MHW); CP (positive control, 5 mg cyclophosphamide/L); RR (surface water of the Reconquista River); RR+Cd (surface water of the Reconquista River with 2 mg Cd/L); Cd (2 mg Cd/L). p < 0.05 compared to NC. Number of individuals analyzed in each treatment: 16-22.
