Vitellogenin concentrations in blood plasma samples of rainbow trout exposed in 2013 and 2014 in cages upstream and downstream of the WWTP Langwiese; means and SD are shown. Analyzed with Biosense rainbow trout vitellogenin ELISA kit. N-numbers 2013 females: negative control n = 9, upstream WWTP n = 15, downstream WWTP n = 7; males: negative control n = 1, upstream WWTP n = 2, downstream WWTP n = 4. No significant differences with Steel–Dwass test; p > 0.05. N-numbers 2014 females: negative control n = 6, upstream WWTP n = 9, downstream WWTP n = 13; males: negative control n = 13, upstream WWTP n = 11, downstream WWTP n = 8. No significant differences with Steel–Dwass test; p > 0.05. No significant differences between years; p > 0.05
