FIGURE 2.13. Liver lesions in English and rock sole sampled during the Flatfish Toxicopathic Injury Study. Site abbreviations: Colvos = Colvos Passage (reference site); 11th St = 11th Street Bridge; LTB = Lower Turning Basin; UTB = Upper Turning Basin. Numbers above lesion bars indicate the significantly higher (p<0.05) estimated relative risks for that lesion category, as compared to fish from Colvos Passage (data combined from both studies), by logistic regression while accounting for effects of fish age on probability of lesion occurrence. For the Flatfish Toxicopathic Injury Study, relative risks were computed only for English sole.
The "any toxicopathic liver lesion" category includes fish having one or more toxicopathic lesion types including, neoplasms, foci of cellular alteration, specific degenerative/necrotic lesions, and proliferative lesions.
