Summary results of one-way repeated measures ANOVA (α = 0.05, n = 4) to assess if there was a significant difference in the percentage change of photosynthesis, respiration and yield by the end of the experiment (week 4).

Data were analysed untransformed and numbers in bold indicate p<0.05. Mauchy's test of sphericity was violated for the shaded controls and sediment treatment corals, and hence, data was adjusted using the Greenhouse Geisser adjustment.
