Abstract

The article discusses possible approaches to cytogenetic homeostasis assessment in natural populations. Various cytogenetic methods, their advantages, disadvantages, and limitations related to the study of animals in their natural habitat are considered. For a reliable characterization of environmental quality, it is recommended to supplement the data obtained in natural populations with laboratory experiments using a test object. Due to a number of features, it is proposed to use the short-living fish Nothobranchius rachovii.
