Figure xxx. Changes in splenic macrophage aggregate area (MMA) with fish condition index. Blue diamonds represent males; pink circles represent females. The general trend shows that MAA increases with increasing condition index, regardless of gender. The light gray vertical line is placed at the median condition index, 0.92. Note that two-thirds (8/12) of the animals above the median condition index are females, while two-thirds (8/12) of the animals below the median condition index are males.
