Table 2. Crambe crambe in situ culture in the Sardinian Sea (Tramariglio Cove, Capo Caccia–Isola Piana Marine Protected Area, Western Mediterranean Sea). Dataset of four experiments started in wintertime (February 2012) vs summertime (July 2013).
Winter experiments lasted 31 months (Exp 1; Exp 2). Summer experiments lasted 19 months (Exp 3; Exp 4). The area increase value was calculated in relation to AVG cover area at seeding time (winter vs summer). Acclimation Phase (lasting 4 months after seeding) is reported as AP. Months = m. Minimum and Maximum values of GR cover area increase (see Figs. 5 and 6).
