Figure 3.

Growth of mussels based upon temperature treatment and collection site. Overall the mussels collected in Tofino grew more than those collected at Reed Point. Significant main effects are indicated, an asterisk indicates significant difference between measured and predicted values under temperature variation. Mussels from both sites grew more under variable temperature conditions than predicted based upon stable temperature conditions. Predicted values for variable conditions are bootstrapped estimates based upon growth at stable temperatures. All values shown are means ± s.e. except for predicted values, which are means ± s.d., as is standard for bootstrapped values.
