Notes:
Fish were exposed to 100 ppm SCN for 11 days or 50 ppm CN for 20 or 45 s. Values given as means (SD), sample size of 3 in SCN exposures and 4 in CN exposures and six controls. Exclusions noted.
a
Sample size of 3 at 2.0 days post 45 s CN exposure.
b
Sample size of 2 at 3.5 days post 45 s CN exposure.
†
Sample fall outside of 95% CI of control.
