HERMAPHRODITIC FISH RIVULUS OCELLATUS MARMORATUS:A MODEL FOR THYROID TUMOR INDUCTION BY CHEMICAL CARCINOGENS

Previous study has shown that the hermaproditicfish Rivulus ocellatus marmoratus is a suitablemodel for experimental hepatocarcinogenesis.Forfurther studies on development of this fish as ananimal model for chemical carcinogenesis,sensitivity of thyroid carcinogens was testedand evaluated.Fish larvae,3-5 day-old。
