Table 2.
Number of positive qPCR samples at the Midsummer and Larson Island netpen sites using the T. dicentrarchi, T. maritimum or both specific quantitative-PCR assays. Numbers in brackets represent percentages. Percentages are calculated by dividing the number of positive qPCR samples against the number of samples in total, for fish tissues or for the environment (Env.).
| Site | T. dicentrarchi | T. maritimum | Both |
|---|---|---|---|
| Midsummer | Total: 131 (16.9) | Total: 82 (10.6) | Total: 31 (3.99) |
| Fish: 71 (17.9) | Fish: 76 (19.2) | Fish: 30 (7.59) | |
| Env.: 60 (15.7) | Env.: 6 (1.57) | Env.: 1 (0.262) | |
| Larson Island | Total: 34 (8.79) | Total: 24 (6.20) | Total: 6 (1.55) |
| Fish: 23 (13.8) | Fish: 9 (5.39) | Fish: 6 (3.59) | |
| Env.: 11 (5.09) | Env.: 15 (6.94) | Env.: 0 |
