Fertilized eggs and embryos of the loach (Misgurnus fossilis) were exposed to chronic gamma irradiation and EDTA was added to some experiments. The mitotic index and quantity of aberrant anaphases were determined after irradiation at various stages of development. The yield of aberrant anaphases in the case of low dose rates was determined more by correlation between effectiveness of repair systems and amount of primary lesions sustained by cell chromosomes per unit time than by rate of cell division.
