Filtered stormwater rescues neuromasts from the toxic effects of stormwater. All experiments were performed on Brn3c:mGFP fish treated from 4 hpf to 4 dpf. Filtered stormwater was diluted with EM; 0% therefore represents fish treated with clean water. (a) Fish exposed to filtered stormwater from January 2016 showed a significant increase in hair cell number in head neuromasts (one-way ANOVA, F_2,63 = 8.092, p = 0.0007); post-hoc testing (Bonferroni-corrected) shows increase in the 100% filtered stormwater group (***p < 0.001). (b) Representative confocal images of the OP1 neuromast from zebrafish larvae raised in different filtered stormwater concentrations. N = 19–24 fish per group treatment, bars are + 1 s.d., scale bar = 10 µm and applies to all panels in (b).
