Fig. 8. The mean probability density of muscle fibre diameter for heated (solid line) and ambient (dashed line) treatment groups for the first (A) and last (B) seawater samples taken in July 2000 and August 2001, respectively. The shaded polygon represents 100 bootstrap estimates of the combined populations of ambient and heated fish, and the dotted line represents the mean probability density function of the pooled groups. Regions where the mean probability density function fell outside the shaded polygon provided graphical evidence for a difference between the populations.
