In this work the genotoxic potential of water in three localities in
Serbia, which differ by the nature and degree of pollution, was
determined in tissues of European chub (Squalius cephalus L.) on monthly
basis over the 2011/2012 year season using the alkaline comet assay.
Specimen samples of chub were taken from Special Nature Reserve
``Uvac{''}, as control site, and Pestan and Beljanica Rivers, as
polluted sites at Kolubara basin, surrounded with coal mines. Three
tissues, blood, gills and liver were used for assessing the level of DNA
damage. Analysis was done by software (Comet Assay IV). The control site
at Reserve ``Uvac{''} showed the lowest DNA damage values for all three
tissues compared to Pestan and Beljanica. Blood has the lowest level of
DNA damage in comparison with liver and gills. Decreased damage for all
three tissues was observed at summer, while during the spring and autumn
damage increased. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
