Table 24. Parametric (r) and nonparametric (T) correlations of seasonal variations of 

 blue crab frequencies and abiotic variables. Variables represent monthly averages of 

 monthly data for 7 years. Salinity and temperature means are baywide over 14 stations 

 in the Apalachicola estuary (from Laughlin and Livingston unpubl.). Correlation matrix 

 - Seasonal variations (N = 12). 



Table 25. Multiple stepwise regression of seasonal variations of 

 frequencies of blue crabs from three size groups and abiotic 

 variables (N=12 months). Variables represent mean monthly averages 

 using 7-year data. Salinity and temperature means are baywide over 

 14 stations in the Apalachicola estuary (from Laughlin and 

 Livingston unpubl ).
