Comparison of THg concentrations in lionfish tissues by sex.

Total mercury concentrations in lionfish tissues in female (solid black bars) and male (solid grey bars) lionfish. Male testes were not sampled (nd). No significant differences were observed for tissues as a function of sex; letters (capitals = females; lower case = males) above tissues represent significant differences from total mercury in tissue types from a Ryan’s Q post-hoc test (see text for details) following ANCOVA.
