Data are presented as pmol/min/mg protein and as mean±SD in pmol/min/mg protein (n=3–5 individuals with 3 replicates for each one (liver and gill); 2 replicates for each one of the 3 pooled samples (olfactory tissue)). Different letters mean significant differences between groups and its own control (P<0.01; One-way ANOVA, Tukey’s test).
bdl: below detection limit (<0.3 pmol/min/mg protein).
