Resumo

The reproductive capacity of adult Penaeus (Marsupenaeus) japonicus (Bate) was assessed after exposure to ionizing gamma radiation from a cobalt-60 source. Males and females were each exposed to 0, 10 and 20 Gray (Gy) of ionizing radiation (IR) and reciprocally crossed to give nine mating combinations. Fecundity and hatch rate of resulting spawnings were used as measures of reproductive capacity. IR significantly (P
