Number of samples per location (N) are indicated for perch (Perca fluviatilis), eel (Anguilla anguilla) and mussels (Dreissena bugensis or alternatively Corbicula fluminea and Mytilus edulis)
^*As for mussels, the number of samples used for analysis instead of the total number of exposed mussels is used
^aAsiatic clam (Corbicula fluminea) or ^bblue mussel (Mytilus edulis) were used instead of quagga mussels. R1 (Nekker) and R2 (Blaarmeerse) are reference locations where mussels were collected. Different water body numbers (e.g. IJzer I, IJzer II,…) were in line with WFD classification. Mussels collected in 2017 were exposed in locations 23–33, collected in 2017 in locations 34–44 and collected in 2019 in the remaining locations
