Evaluation of Blue Crab, Callinectes sapidus, Megalopal Settlement and Condition during the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
Fig 3
Megalopal settlement rates and weights at Oil/Not Oil sites in 2010.
(a) Mean daily settlement rate and (b) mean individual weight of Callinectes spp. megalopae at Not Oiled (white, box, n = 2) and Oiled sites (grey box, n = 5) in 2010. Boxplots show the median (black line), the first and third quartiles (lower and upper box bounds, respectively) and 95% confidence intervals (whiskers). For the Not Oiled sites (Galveston, Apalachicola), the whiskers are right on the bounds of the box. There was no significant effect of oil status on either variable.
