Table 2 Summary of linear regression analyses for variables predicting log(Vp) counts in oysters. Estimates in bold are significant at the 0.05 level, and the percent change in Vp counts is given only for significant estimates

  1. *Because analyses were conducted with log(Vp) counts, the change per each 1-unit increase is calculated by taking the antilog of the variable coefficient and taking difference from the baseline value of 1 (i.e. a coefficient of 0)
  2. **Effect estimates reflect the change in Vp counts when compared with category A. Bolded coefficient represent statistically significant results at a p value of less than 0.05
