Therefore, the present investigation was undertaken to test the hypothesis that VC or BC can also ameliorate EMS-induced genotoxicity in another unrelated fish taxon,A. testudineus. The present study included several widely accepted cytogenetical end points, like study of chromosomal aberrations (CA), induction of micronuclei (MN), abnormal nuclei (AN), and sperm head abnormality (SHA) in the experimental and control specimens.
