Abstract
AMONG the attributes manifested by tetracyclines administered to biological systems are an affinity for calcified tissues1–4, the concomitant inhibition of calcification3,4, and fluorescence under ultra-violet illumination. These properties have facilitated the investigation of growth and regeneration of scales in tetracycline-treated teleosts (Fundulus heteroclitus).
