Figure 2. Relative mRNA-expression for the four targeted genes, ATP1A3, CFTR, KCNH4 and HSP70 in saltwater control (SS, dark orange), saltwater fish exposed to freshwater (SF, light orange), freshwater control (FF, dark blue) and freshwater fish exposed to saltwater (FS, light blue) for exposure periods relative to the 5 minute exposure.

Values between 0–1 indicate lower expression, and values over 1 indicate higher expression relative to the expression at 5 minutes.
