TABLE 3.

Comparisons of straight carapace length (SCL) and body condition index (BCI) between pier‐caught (pier) and net‐caught individuals (net) for green turtle, Kemp’s ridley, and loggerhead (also see Table 1)

Comparison	SCL (cm)	BCI
Green turtle—pier versus net	*6.94 (4.77, 9.22)	−0.03 (−0.08, 0.01)
Kemp’s ridley—pier versus net	*20.10 (13.00, 27.68)	*−0.11 (−0.22, −0.01)
Loggerhead—pier versus net	0.21 (−12.43, 12.79)	0.02 (−0.12, 0.18)

Coefficients for SCL and BCI reported as the mode (effect size) of the difference with a 90% highest density interval (HDI). The direction of the tests is left minus right. *Highlights HDIs that did not overlap zero. For example, the finding for “green turtle—pier versus net” is that mean SCL was greater for pier‐caught green turtles than net caught, and the difference was significant. Mean BCI was greater for net‐caught green turtles; there it was not significant difference from pier‐caught turtles.
