Note: a = Total weight of fingerling muscle in each test vessel.
b = Concentration of naphthalene in the fingerling muscle determined using
the technique of HPLC.
c = Total amount of naphthalene in the fingerling muscle calculated by
multiplying a total weight of fingerling muscle (a) with a concentration of
naphthalene determined in each test vessel (b).
