(lonctivily on marine life. Conclusions are translated into
terms of human beings. For the heredity study, seven
croups of thoroughbred fish were bombarded with varying degrees Of X-rays These rays are similar to Ihc gamma rays from atomic explosions. * Throe 'succeeding generations descended from the original group already have been scrulfnired. fourth generation descendants of the Irradiated fish now are being artificially spawned.
Original flih selected for the ! radiation experiments were tak
en from special strain of "auper Irout" that attain maturity In .half the time of ordinary trout. This speeds research by provid
ing more generatlona in lexa time.
The "super irout" were devel oped at the university over the pail 20 years by selective breed ing and special diet They repro duce at an age or Ids than two years and are much larger and hardier than four-year-olds that grow In streams.
Eggs now being taken are from fish spawned In June, 1947. Nor mally, these fish would not repro duce unlit 1951.
To dale, investigations disclose that the larger the dosage of radia tion received by the first genera tion the more descendants will die or develop abnormalities.
Dr, Donaldson reported: "In succeeding generations, rate of survival Is lower and the incidence of abnormalities creases, even among the descend ants of trout that received only small doses,"
