Sample n Body Weight (g) Sample from: TTX Concentration (μg/g) TTX Amount (μg)
Adult 6 4.39 ± 0.92 Wild 115 ± 52 b 523 ± 285
Egg plate 3 N/A Wild 23 ± 16 a N/A
Egg plate 3 N/A Aquarium 9328 ± 3356 a N/A

Remaining fragments of egg plates were collected after feeding by the pufferfish Takifugu niphobles (at present Takifugu alboplumbeus). Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation. Different superscripts (a and b) in TTX column indicate a significant difference among the measured values (Tukey–Kramer post-hoc test, p < 0.01).
