Abundance, condition, pelagic feeding frequency and location of post-settlement snapper by site as observed from video deployments and ‘brush and dustpan’ netting in Whangarei Harbour.

<p>(A) Abundance: proportion of two minute video segments where post-settlement snapper were observed. (B) Abundance: number of snapper captured by ‘brush and dustpan’. Kruskal Wallis test did not find any significant differences. (C) Fish condition: Condition of post-settlement snapper captured by ‘brush and dustpan’ netting. (D) Location: average proportion of observations of post-settlement snapper within each position category (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0122137#sec002" target="_blank">methods</a> for category definitions). Statistical test conducted for observations that were categorised as near seagrass. (E) Feeding events: proportion of two minute video segments where post-settlement snapper were present that suspected pelagic feeding events were observed (standardised for snapper abundance). For all plots sites are listed in increasing order of maximum water velocity (from Whangarei Harbour hydrodynamic model), values at each site are averages from four replicate ASUs ±1 standard error. Different lowercase letters denote significant differences between sites at the α = 0.05 level (Student-Newman-Keuls tests).
