PERMANOVA pair-wise comparisons of fish assemblages at different depths done separately at each location on the basis of the Jaccard resemblance measure.

Partitioning was done using Type I (sequential) sums of squares and P-values were obtained for each term using 9999 permutations under the reduced model. Similar results were obtained using taxonomic resemblances Γ+. Due to the large number of comparisons, a conservative level of α = 0.01 was chosen. Significant p-values (<0.01) are shown in bold.
