Alpha diversity measures of all sample groups. a Shannon’s measure of species diversity across all sample groups. b Chao1 estimate of species richness across all sample groups. Green = land-based culture (LBC). Blue = sea-based container culture (SBCC). Environmental comparison “LBC” (including day 0) and “SBCC” represent combined data of all corresponding groups. Boxes labelled with groups that are significantly different. **p < =0.01, ***p < =0.001
