TABLE 2.

Regression parameters for the relationship between population growth rate and microcystin production rate for each Microcystis colony size class^a

Colony size (μm)	A ± SEb	B ± SEb	R2	P	n
>340	0.97 ± 0.15	0.02 ± 0.03	0.82	<0.001	12
>100	0.77 ± 0.12	0.002 ± 0.02	0.77	<0.001	15
50-100	0.38 ± 0.73	0.04 ± 0.095	0.02	0.61	15
<50	−0.06 ± 0.53	0.05 ± 0.08	<0.001	0.92	15
Total	1.13 ± 0.36	0.04 ± 0.04	0.43	0.008	15

^aThe data were fitted as the linear relationship y = Ax + B, where x is the daily change in cell number and y is the daily change in microcystin concentration. Both rates were calculated between successive sampling dates as described in the text.

^bData are reported as mean and SE.
