Distribution of Mercury in Rainbow Trout Tissues at Embryo-Larval and Juvenile Stages

Table 5

Effect of cumulative amount of mercury intake (𝑥) on mercury concentration in muscle, liver, kidney, and liver and muscle mercury concentration ratio. (N = 45).

	Regression equation	𝑟^2	𝑃
Hg in muscle	0.064 + 0.002*𝑥	0.253	<0.001
Hg in liver	0.063 + 0.003*𝑥	0.439	<0.001
Hg in kidney	0.053 + 0.003*𝑥	0.533	<0.001
Hg in liver/Hg in muscle	1.026 + 0.009*𝑥	0.222	0.001
