CFC = Continuously fluorinated carbons; Conc = Concentration; Mort = Mortality (at 24 and 120 hpf, respectively); EPR = Embryonic Photomotor Response: B = Background, E = Excitatory, R = Refractory period; LPR = Larval Photomotor Response (light and dark periods, respectively); LSR = Larval Startle Response: AUC = Area Under the Curve analysis, Peak = peak analysis; n (LPR/LSR) = Sample sizes of the control and treated groups; Results: HYPER = hyperactive (yellow), HYPO = hypoactive (blue) compared to controls. Grey coloring indicates no significant effect.

*

Tested at half the target concentration due to dilution error (0.4 μM).

**

Concentration describes ∑PFAS in mixture.
