  1. Age.1rep, Size.1rep, NEC.1rep, NE.1rep, NEPC.1rep and Hatch.1rep are age, size, mean number of egg capsules, eggs and eggs per capsule and hatching rate at first reproduction. Preg refers to the p-value associated with region effect. Ptrtm refers to p-value associated with treatment effect. Mean ± SD of the same row with the same superscript letter are not significantly different
