NOAA Tech Memo NMFS NWFSC-36: Fish Injury in the Hylebos Waterway (cont)
FIGURE 2.15. Liver lesions in rock sole sampled during the combined Flatfish Toxicopathic and Reproductive Injury Studies. 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. 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. Site abbreviations: Colvos = Colvos Passage (reference site); Hylebos = Hylebos Waterway.
