(A) Mean size (±1 standard error [SE]) of crabs caught in relation to depth. Depth had a significant effect on size of crabs caught (P=0.03, F=3.72, df=4). Pots at the 3-m depth caught signifi- cantly smaller crabs than pots at the 1- and 2-m depths. (B) Mean abundance (±1 SE) of crabs caught in relation to depth. Depth had a significant effect on the number of crabs caught (P=0.04, F=3.60, df=4). Pots at the 3-m depth caught significantly fewer crabs than pots at the 1- and 2-m depths. Differ- ent letters denote significance. n=15 for each of the three depth treatments. Results were based on an analysis of 119 crabs.
