Figure 1

The effect of sound field on the maximum mixed depth (f-SPILmax, cm) of sediment particles for Nephrops norvegicus.

Data points (open circles) have been horizontally jittered for clarity. Model predictions (open triangles) from the minimal adequate linear regression model (Supplementary Model S2) with GLS estimation (incorporating sound field as a variance covariate) are indicated. Positive values indicate increased particle reworking activity. Sound fields: Ambient, Gaussian sound spectrally shaped to mimic background sound; CBN, ambient + continuous broadband sound (Supplementary Sound 1); IBN, ambient + impulsive broadband sound (Supplementary Sound 2).
