Doses of gamma radiation between 1 and 400 krads were given to the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, to characterize the pathological effects of ionizing radiation on bivalue mollusks. Irradiation above 200 krads caused death within 9 days, 75 krads caused degeneration of all tissues and death within 180 days, 10 krads caused cessation of mitotic cell development, 1 krad doses caused degeneration of gonadal tissue and doses in excess of 1 krad caused sterilization. Regeneration was noted only in digestive tubules at sublethal doses. It is hypothesized that the major effect is on an uncharacterized cell renewal system. Questions raised by the data are presented.
