Appendix F. Size-frequency distributions at each site in 2000, 2003, and 2006; and results of log-linear analysis of Conch Reef size-frequency data.

Size-frequency distributions at all sites became increasingly dominated by smaller sponges (Fig F1). Size-frequency distributions were significantly different among years and between sites (Table F1).

FIG. F1. Size-frequency distributions of Xestospongia muta at (A) 15 m Conch Reef, (B) 20 m Conch Reef, (C) 30 m Conch Reef, and (D) 15 m Pickles Reef in 2000, 2003, and 2006.

TABLE F1. Log-linear analysis of Conch Reef size-frequency data. Analyses were based on a three-way contingency table with the response variable state, S, (six stages), and explanatory variables time, T, (three years), and location, L, (four sites).
