TABLE 3:
Exposure | VTG ng/g homogenate | Relative VTGa | Relative Fecundityb |
---|---|---|---|
Control | 300 000 | N/A | N/A |
31 µg/L | 100 000 | 33.33% | 31.6215 |
106 µg/L | 30 000 | 10% | 9.458 |
301 µg/L | 50 | 0.0001% | 0c |
Relative change is calculated in relation to VTG of control fish.
Relative fecunidity is predicted in relation to the fecundity of control fish using the equation: (Relative Fecundity) = −0.042 + 0.95 × (Relative VTG) taken from Miller et al. (2007).
Estimated relative fecundity canť be negative.
