To investigate the effect of the handling steps variability, logPill distributions were generated with the same mean but with standard deviation reduced by 50% (0.5rREP) for the oyster handling parameters listed in Section 2.2.3. The range of the estimated log Pill values narrowed significantly when lowering the reported rREP values for logNharvest,
SVHPP, or by simultaneously decreasing the rREP for all variables (pvalue < 0.05). Whereas the latter yields no specific recommendations
