Comet tail length (TL) and tail moment (TM) for fish exposed to all feeds and for all sampling time points. The mean is presented with the standard error and number of fish collected for each sampling and time point. Asterisks (*) note values that were found to be significantly different (analysis of variance, t test, p<0.05).
