Fig. 4. Changes in five different ovarian indices and in the hepatosomatic index of pregnant eelpout after 35 days water exposure to isopropanol (control, C), 25 µgl-1 4-tert-octylphenol (4-tOP) (OP25), 100 µgl-1 4-tOP (OP100) or 0.5 µgl-1 17ß-oestradiol (E2). (A) Ovarian fluid index (OFI). (B) Embryo somatic index (ESI). (C) Ovarian sac somatic index (OSSI). (D) Ovarian sac mass percentage (OSM). (E) Gonadosomatic index (GSI). (F) Hepatosomatic index (HSI). OFI, ESI, OSSI, GSI and HSI are somatic indices calculated in relation to the total mass of pregnant eelpout (excluding ovary). Values are means ± S.E.M. Significant difference from control is indicated by asterisks (*P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001).
