No significant day vs. night differences were detected in catches of brown shrimp, but catches of white shrimp were significantly (P<0.01) higher during daytime. Observed correlations between catch and tide elevation and temperature were believed to be coincidental.brown shrimpPenaeus aztecuswhite shrimpPenaeus setiferusjuvenilescanalstemporal variationsArticle
