  1. Standard deviations shown in brackets. To account for the fact that some stationary string tags malfunctioned during parts of the study period, cage water column data were grouped into 2.5 m depth bins and each data point weighted by the inverse of the total number of observations for its depth bin for the calculation of means and standard deviations.
