Appendix C. Analysis of variance results for the effect of seascape (+ subtidal reefs vs. – subtidal reefs), site (nested in Seascape), plot, treatment (Full cage, Partial Cage, No Cage) at days 3 and 74 from the initiation of the experiment on survival of 5–15 mm experimental mussels at four sites in the largescale experiment. There was no effect of “Plot” (P > 0.25) by day 74, and its SS was combined with residual SS. Significant P values are in bold.
