| Summary: | Population caught in test (black line) and baseline (grey line) pots (upper row), catch comparison rates (middle row), and catch ratios (bottom row) for baseline pots against test pots using white LED lights (left column– 8-day soaking time; middle column– 14-day pot soaking time) and green LED (left column). Circle marks represent experimental catch comparison rates. The black solid curve in catch comparison and catch ratio plots represents the mean estimated curve and the stippled lines represent the 95% confidence intervals. Horizontal stippled grey lines represent the baseline for the absence of any significant effect of adding artificial lights on catch comparison rate and catch ratio. The grey stippled vertical line represents the minimum landing size for snow crabs (95 mm CW).
