The intensity of melamine–cyanurate crystal spherulites seen on a wet mount section of kidney. Each intensity value represents the finding in an individual fish, initial phase n = 3, confirmatory phase n = 3.

Fish were given 20 mg/kg bw of the first triazine followed by a waiting period and then 20 mg/kg bw of the second triazine. Estimated equivalent in feed is approximately 500 ppm of each triazine.

Intensity Scale as in Table 1.
