Transition of body condition indices with increasing umbilical scar stages (USS) in Carcharhinus melanopterus. Fulton’s K at (a) Moorea and (b) St. Joseph, and girth factor GF at (c) Moorea, and (d) St. Joseph. Boxes indicate the interquartile range with the median shown by horizontal lines, minimum and maximum values shown by whiskers, and black dots represent outliers. Letters above plots in (a) and (c) indicate statistically significant differences between groups. Sample size in Moorea: USS1 n = 59, USS2 n = 104, USS 3 n = 150. Sample size at St. Joseph: USS1 n = 2, USS2 n = 29, USS3 n = 60.
