We show that the Hα emission from the outer disc regions of spiral galaxies with extended flat rotation curves, such as NGC3198, would be one or two orders of magnitude larger in the decaying neutrino theory than in conventional theories, and would vary inversely with distance from the centre of the galaxy. This result leads to a decisive test of the neutrino theory, which can be performed via the forthcoming observations of Bland-Hawthorn, Freeman & Quinn and Reynolds & Tufte. Another test involves the prediction that [NII]/Hα in these outer regions would be one or two orders of magnitude less in the neutrino decay theory than in conventional theories, since the decay photons cannot ionize nitrogen.
