The aim of the current study was to quantify DNA damage in red blood cells from natural populations of dab (Limanda limanda) and haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) in relation to chemical exposure in their natural habitat. The North-East Atlantic is a highly productive area, which also receives sign...
