(A) Cumulative mean percent morbidity and mortality for donor (black) and recipient (gray) populations, error bars denote standard error. (B) P . salmonis genome equivalents in tank water. Data are presented in box plots in which the inner horizontal line is the median, and the upper and lower boundaries of the box correspond to the first and third quartiles. The upper and lower whiskers denote the largest and smallest values no further than 1.5 times the inter-quartile range. The dotted horizontal line denotes assay limit of quantification.
