FIGURE 1.6. Fluorescent Aromatic Compounds (FACs) in bile of juvenile salmon. Values are mean concentrations � SE. The p value for the statistical comparison between Hylebos fish and reference site fish is shown on the graph. n = number of analyses. ppb = parts per billion. Reference sites for chum salmon include Puyallup Tribal Hatchery, and Skokomish Estuary. Reference sites for chinook salmon include Puyallup State Hatchery, Nisqually Hatchery, and Nisqually Estuary. BaP = mean values for benzo[a]pyrene equivalents. NPH = mean values for naphthalene equivalents. PHN = mean values for phenanthrene equivalents. Bile for juvenile salmon study was not corrected for protein, due to the possibility of extraneous protein contamination as described in the addendum to the SAP (Appendix A).
