* Solution Codes:
A = Sea Water Control
B = Treated Effluent
C = Pure Untreated Effluent
D = 0.1 Untreated Effluent Dilution
E = 0.01 Untreated Effluent Dilution
F = 0.001 Untreated Effluent Dilution
G = 0.0001 Untreated Effluent Dilution
H = 0.00001 Untreated Effluent Dilution
These codes are applied throughout the report.
