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.

Statistical test | Location and Shape | Shape only | Location and Shape | Shape only | Location and Shape | Shape only |
KS | 0.002 | 0.950 | 0.130 | 0.393 | <0.001 | 0.001 |
KDE | <0.010 | 0.900 | 0.230 | 0.260 | <0.010 | <0.010 |
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.
