Note:

Modelled toxicity estimates for the inhibition of coral larval metamorphosis by diazinon, fipronil, imidacloprid, chlorothalonil, propiconazole and copper to Acropora tenuis. No effect concentrations (NECs) and effect concentrations (EC10 and EC50) were calculated from concentration-response curves (see Fig. 2). Meta. = mean larval metamorphosis (%) of larvae in uncontaminated treatments (± SE). All concentrations are in µg L−1 (95% confidence intervals).
