Summary

This scientometric analysis reviewed 154 studies using the comet assay in fish as a biomonitoring tool for genotoxic pollution in water. The comet assay measures DNA damage in fish cells, providing a sensitive indicator of environmental contamination that can include microplastic-associated chemicals.

The goal of this paper is to analyze the knowledge development on biomonitoring using comet assay on fishes. Were selected 154 papers in the ISI Web of Science and PubMed databases. The comet assay was used by 24.7% of the papers with the purpose to evaluate genotoxicity of polluted water. Comet assay is many times associated with other techniques, offering good results to increase efficiency in environmental assessment or to evaluate genotoxicity of pollutants individually.
