Chromosomal aberrations found in Paracalanus aculeatus (Giesbrecht) at the time of solar eclipse

Abstract

Chromosomal aberrations in the form of an unequal heteromorphic homologous pair and a supernumerary chromosome were observed in the gonad of a copepod - @iParacalanus aculeatus@@ after being exposed to the total solar eclipse of Feb. 16, 1980. The behaviour of these chromosomes during the course of mitosis and meiosis are presented
