Another case where knowledge of the technology is critical! I mis-read winkles as wrinkles.
Sounds like we're doing frquency counts in samples here, true? That would be a Chi-Sq type test, no? OTOH, if the count is number of winkles per algae type, one could take that as an integer number on a numeric scale, no upper bound. And run it as a ratio scale, which would be an F test for 3 groups (species of algae), true? Jay "Robert J. MacG.
