Figure 4. Blood plasma parameters of fish recovering in seawater after the 8-hour freshwater bath treatment. Bath duration was log transformed for model fit. The parameter values of 8-hour treatment samples are shown at the initial time point with a solid blue line indicating that they were not included in the model. Model significance of the bath duration, and significant differences from the reference level of freshwater infected lice is indicated in the axis labels by astricts: *p-values < 0.05, **p-values < 0.01, ***p-values < 0.001. NL –freshwater treated fish with no louse infection, HS – hyposaline treated fish with lice infection. Linear models for Lactate and Cortisol include an interaction term.
