DNA damage as a biomarker of genotoxic contamination in Mytilus galloprovincialis from the south coast of Portugal

DNA damage was evaluated in the haemolymph of Mytilus galloprovincialis from nine sites along the south coast of Portugal using the comet assay. DNA damage was low, in the same range of sites considered to suffer low impact from genotoxic contaminants. Even so, differences between sites, seasons and...
