Acute stormwater exposure decreases uptake of the transduction-dependent dye FM 1–43FX by hair cells. (a) Representative confocal images of neuromast IO3 from fish treated with no stormwater (0%), 50%, or 100% stormwater for 24 hr, then labeled with FM 1–43FX. The bar in the left panel = 10 µm and applies to all panels. (b) There is a significant reduction in FM 1–43FX fluorescence in stormwater-treated fish (one-way ANOVA, F_2,25 = 19.81, p < 0.0001). Bonferroni-corrected post-hoc testing shows decreased fluorescence at 50% or 100% stormwater (****p < 0.0001 for each). Fluorescence was quantified in arbitrary units (A.U.). This experiment used stormwater from a June 2014 storm event. N = 7–11 fish per group, bars are + 1 s.d.
