Simple fix: The potential of escape gaps in enhancing the capture performance of crab pots used in the fishery of blue swimming crab, Portunus pelagicus (Crustacea, Decapoda, Portunidae), in the Philippines


	Number of species caught (x̄ ± SE) in the gapped and conventional box-type crab pot. The notation “ns” indicates no significant difference in the catch species richness between pot designs (P > 0.05) compared by Mann–Whitney test.
