Effects of Nautical Traffic and Noise on Foraging Patterns of Mediterranean Damselfish (Chromis chromis)
Figure 6
Body Condition Index (BCI) of C. chromis.
C. chromis individuals were collected in periods of reproductive inactivity and the BCI was compared between zones in the two study areas. The BCI is equal to TW/SL3, where TW is Total Weight (0.1 g), and SL is Standard Length (0.005 cm), and shows the conditional state of a fish for a given length. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean. The significance level is reported in figure: ns = not significant difference; *** P<0.001 after ANOVA (see text for statistics).
