Table 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.)
