3.2.2. Growth rates
Growth rates varied over the year with higher growth rates
occurring in April 2012 and February 2013 (Fig. 7), but were only
significantly different over time for M. ampliata and P. speciosa
(Table 1). Growth rates were not consistently higher or lower at
certain sites (Table 2), except for M. ampliata and P. sinensis whose
growth rates were significantly different among sites during specific
months (e.g. higher growth rates observed at Hantu in April to
May 2012; Fig. 7).
