Table 1.

Intra-worm mercury levels (ng Hg/mg protein) in adult stage worms following developmental MeHg exposure.

	Adult stage
MeHg, μM	Day 1	Day 5	Day 10
0	b.q.	b.q.	b.q.

0.05	b.q.	b.q.	b.q.

0.5	0.397^#	b.q.	b.q.

5	31.020	6.775^*	2.827^*

The mercury contents in adult stage worms were measured with a single wavelength atomic absorption specific to mercury, “b.d.” denotes mercury content below the quantification limit of 0.5 ng Hg. Analyses were performed with one-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparisons test.

p<0.05 compared with day 1 adult stage.

p<0.001 compared with day 1 adult worms with 5 μM MeHg.
