Survival comparison between AB, TU and AB/TU shows that TU presents a higher survival rate. At 3 days post-fertilization (dpf), 15–20 larvae were selected per group and placed in embryonic medium, then at 5 dpf, larvae were either kept in embryonic medium or TNBS was added to a final concentration of 70 μg/mL (T70) and 80 μg/mL (T80) and survival of larvae was followed up daily from 5 to 8 dpf. (A) No significant mortality was observed in the control group, ns = not significant. (B) In T70, survival of TU was significantly higher than AB and AB/TU presented intermediate mortality to AB and TU, **p = 0.0016. (C) In T80, survival of TU was significantly higher than AB and AB/TU, ****p < 0.0001, ***p = 0.0001, respectively. Differences were evaluated using the log-rank test (Mantel-Cox) test. Data is representative of the sum of four independent experiments.
