Appendix B. Analysis of variance results for the effect of seascape (+ vs. – subtidal reefs), site (nested in Seascape and random), treatment (Partial Cage, No Cage) at days 1 and 27 from the initiation of the experiment on survival of 5–15 mm experimental mussels at four sites near Christchurch. Significant P values are in bold.
