Supplementary Figure 1: Concentration-response curves based on size using only 141 and 83 day rearing times Salmotrutta populations combined, with potential misclassifications removed from the small and medium categories; methods for identifying potential misclassifications are as described in Section 2.3.1. Size categories are based on the 33rd and 67th percentile of the combined data where the small category includes fish with a final mass between 0.148 and 0.438 g, the medium category includes fish with a final mass between 0.446 and 0.593 g, and the large category includes fish with a final mass between 0.6 and 1.432 g. Concentrations are the mean of measured exposure concentrations in the two chronological age zinc exposures.
