Figure 4. The number of lunges a fish made in a 30-min trial period exposed to different plastic and copepod combinations. Three experimental conditions: trials involving only plastics (dark bars), trials involving copepods alone but with prior exposure to plastics (light bars), and trials involving a combination of plastics and copepods, with and without prior exposure to plastics (hatched bars), are presented. The outer x-axis contains labels for the type of plastic that was offered to the fish, and the inner label indicates prior exposures of the copepods offered (L: large plastic spheres; S: small plastic spheres; NP: no plastic; NC: no copepod). Letters above the standard error bars indicate significant differences based on Tukey’s HSD pairwise post hoc analyses.
