Univariate analyses to test for distance-based and localized spatial trends for 5 different fish and benthic community composition groups and environmental factors.

<p>Regression types tested were: linear or exponential de- or increase towards offshore and linear de- or increase with one breakpoint (2 segments). The regression type yielding the lowest p-value and highest R² is shown. Tests for zonation and localized effects were done using one-way Anova. Post-hoc results (Tukey test) for differences between zones are given in the ‘zonation’ column.</p><p>Univariate analyses to test for distance-based and localized spatial trends for 5 different fish and benthic community composition groups and environmental factors.
