Table 2. Mean values of environmental parameters for controls and exclosures in the three experiments.
Mean values (± SD) of water depth, light supply (PAR) and current velocity on accessible control tiles and fish exclosure tiles (n = 9) averaged over the experiment duration (number of measurements, n ≥ 3).
