Results are presented for the A) diving or B) dredging studies. The line in the middle of the box corresponds to the median, the top and bottom of the box are the 75th and 25th percentiles determining the Inter Quartile Range (IQR) and the whiskers extend outside of the box at a distance of 1.5 X IQR. Outlier values are illustrated (black circles). Different capital and small-case letters indicate significant differences among groups for samples collected by diving or dredging respectively (Kruskal-Wallis test, p ≤ 0.05). Group identification: M, May, J, July, S, September, O, October -Fishing area -A, -AA, -B, or -C, and—water depth (last 2 numbers).
