Description In modern civilization, aquatic sources are enormously used as
the dumping ground for man made waste which are transformed into most
toxic compound in aquatic systems. The aquatic toxicologist, however,
revealed the great danger of its effects on xenobiotics
in structure and function of aquatic ecosystem. Modem geneticist
proposed the link between pollution and genome of aquatic animals.
Genetic toxicology, therefore, emerged as a new field of genetics,
especially fish genetics. Several cytogenetic assays were developed
by modem genetic toxicologist. The genetic toxicology was recognized
as a separate branch around 1969 after the Environmental Mutagen
Society was established.
The environmental mutagens have been classified into three,
such as, living, physical and chemical mutagen (Manna, 1982, 1983).
The consequence of these pollutions on fin fish and shell fish
have been studied by toxicologist. The exploratory . research in this
field has identified it as an important environmental problem,
all over the world . The effectiveness of these chemicals on hereditary
components of living organisms were categorised in genetic toxicology.
Brusick (1980) reported that even if many toxic substance damage the
genetic material in nonspecific manner, the effect of these agents are
highly specific on nucleic acid. Hence these are capable
of producing harmful effect at sublethal level.
