Results of statistical analysis of relative encounters of fourteen large and medium-bodied commercially important species on belt transects at fixed sites of the USVI Territorial Coral Reef Monitoring Program.

Comparisons were two-way Friedmans Rank test comparing the treatments Island (St. Croix and the northern USVI), Depth (less than 25m and greater than 25 m), and their interaction (Island*Depth). All degrees of freedom were 3/18 (numerator/denominator) for the whole model and 2 for individual treatments. Where the model was not statistically significant the individual tests of treatments are not presented. Bold indicates significant treatments or interactions that were followed up with pair-wise tests.
