Effect of solar ultraviolet radiation (280-400 nm) on the eggs and larvae of Atlantic cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>)

Abstract: Abstract:In the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, solar ultraviolet B radiation (UV-B, 280-320 nm) penetrates a significant percentage of the summer mixed-layer water column: organisms residing in this layer, such as the eggs of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), are exposed to UV-B. In outdoor exposure experiments, Atlantic cod eggs were incubated in the presence versus the absence of UV-B and (or) UV-A (320-400 nm). We tested two hypotheses: H 1 , UV-B induces mortality in Atlantic cod eggs, and H 2 , UV-A either exac… Show more
