Table 2. Results of Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) and kernel density estimate (KDE) tests of differences between pairs of fish length-frequency distributions sampled by line fishing and baited remote underwater stereo-video.

Overall tests of raw data are sensitive to differences in location and shape, whereas comparison of data standardised by median and variance provide a test of shape only (Shape). p values are given, with significant effects (p<0.05) also indicated in bold.
