Eye development and size in recently hatched (24–36 h old) shortnose sturgeon (A,C) and Atlantic sturgeon (B,D) larvae that had been exposed as embryos to graded nominal water doses of polychlorinated biphenyl 126 (PCB126) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). See Table 3 for relationship between nominal water doses and approximatebody burdens of PCB126. Eye development index score of 1 represents a less well-developed eye and a score of 5 represents a more well-developed eye. Eye size was quantified as pupil diameter. Mean ±SE. p value as determined by a one-way univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) with dose as the treatment. Water (w) and acetone (a; solvent) were used as controls.
