Organisms are at their most sensitive to ionizing radiation during the embryonic life stage, and the eye is one of the most sensitive tissues. High proliferation-rate, cell-differentiation and embryonic development depend on intact DNA and other biomolecules. In the present study, eyes of Atlantic s...
