Abstract
DNA adducts in cod embryos and larvae were analysed by P-32-postlabeli ng to test the hypothesis that anthropogenic substances, which could f orm reactive intermediates, are involved in the reproductive failure o f cod (Gadus morhua) front the Baltic Sea. A comparison with cod from the Barents Sea was performed. The mean value of DNA adducts in cod em bryos/larvae from the Baltic Sea was 2.3 nmol of adducts/mol nucleotid es, compared to 0.12 nmol of adducts/mol nucleotides in the embryos/la rvae from the Barents Sea.
