10. Mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentrations (ls mean g/100 ml packed
red blood cells ± s (N))
in adult yellowtail flounder trawl-collected from six Northwest Atlantic
locations during
1978-85. (Station-related differences (i.e., between the five
inshore stations and the Georges Bank offshore station) for a given season
and sex are indicated by bold values (read horizontally). Season-related
differences for a given station and sex are indicated by the presence
or absence of superscripts for the values (read vertically); values with
the same or no superscript are not significantly different; values with
different superscripts are significantly different. Sex-related differences
for a given station and season are indicated
by underlined values (read vertically). For some stations and seasons,
no data (“nd”) were available. For statistical significance, P < 0.05.)
