Table 1. Summary information for the field and monitoring phases with mean values (and ranges) for: Transport density at sea, holding temperature, number of fish, length, weight, condition factor (CF, adapted from Fulton’s “K”) and dead sardines at the end of the study.
“Reps” stands for replicates, “Days” stands for days of monitoring.
