Data are presented as mean ± SE. Values with different lowercase superscripts (alphabet) differ significantly () between fishes within tissue and concentration. Values with different numeric superscripts differ significantly () between concentrations within tissue and fishes. Values with different uppercase superscripts (alphabet) differ significantly () between tissues within fishes and concentration.
