Fig. 2. Group mean
max ± 2 s.e.m. of rods,
middle-wavelength-sensitive (MWS) and long-wavelength-sensitive (LWS) cones
from control and treatment groups for Experiments III–V (plotted in
numerical order from left to right). Absorbance spectra of individual
photoreceptors from the dorsal retina of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus
kisutch, Walbaum) were measured using MSP. The group mean
max is based on the mean of all fish sampled for that
group, and the mean
max for each fish is the mean of
20 rods, 10 MWS or 8 LWS cones (on average). The control and TH-treated
group mean
max values for rods, MWS and LWS cones were
significantly different from one another (P<0.001) in all three
experiments.
