Twenty-four hours postfertilization behavioral results. (a) After 1 week of washout, larvae exposed at 24 hpf did not display statistically different startle responses. (b) No differences were noted in OMRs displayed by after 1 week of recovery. (c) At 2 weeks post-exposure, larvae exposed to high BPA displayed increased startle responses compared to larvae exposed to low BPA only (p = 0.001). (d) No differences in OMRs were observed in larvae exposed at 24 hpf at the 2 week time point. At each recovery point n = 30 for all treatment groups. Startle responses were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA performed separately for each age and treatment group; if significance was noted, a Tukey post hoc test was performed to identify differences. OMR was analyzed using a one-way ANOVA, followed by a post hoc multiple comparison (with a Bonferroni correction). All values are reported as mean ± SE. Different letters denote significance.
