Fig. 2 in Fish assemblage of the Mamanguape Environmental Protection Area, NE Brazil: abundance, composition and microhabitat availability along the mangrove-reef gradient

Fig. 2. Ontogenetic patterns of habitat use in Abudefduf saxatilis, Anisotremus surinamensis, Lutjanus alexandrei, and L. jocu along the sub-areas of Mamanguape Mangrove-Reef system, NE Brazil, showing an increase in individual size classes from the Estuarine to the Reef zone. Mann Whitney U Test showed significant size differences between all sub-areas (for A. saxatilis, Transition vs. Reefs: U = 491, Z = -6.02, p = 0.00; for A. surinamensis, Transition vs. Reefs: U = 1338, Z = -6.83, p = 0.00; for L. alexandrei, Peixe-Boi vs. Transition: U = 0.00, Z = -3.39, p = 0.00; and Tanques vs. Transition: U = 0.00, Z = -2.92, p = 0.00; for L. jocu, Peixe-Boi vs. Transition: U = 7.5, Z = -3.38, p = 0.00), except between Tanques and Peixe-Boi for L. alexandrei (U = 65, Z = 0.76, p = 0.46).
