Table 1.

Comparison of means of water temperature and salinity among the sites of S1‐6 in each growing season from October to June (n = 9). Values are means with standard deviation. Different letters on mean water temperature and mean salinity (a, b, c) indicate statistical differences at P < 0.05 within a given season
