Previously on Windermere Pike Trilogy • Presented the data series • 1949–2001 (N = 5560) • Individually tagged pike • All the covariates you can dream of • Presented a parameterisation that works • Multistate Cormack-Jolly-Seber model • MS-GOF tells us to proceed (Pradel et al. 2003) • Low or no over-dispersion • Presented preliminary results
yt = b1xt-1 + b2yt-1+ b3zt-1 xt = a1xt-1 + a2yt-1+ a3zt-1 b2 a1 a2 b1 c1 c2 a3 b3 c3 zt = c1xt-1 + c2yt-1+ c3zt-1 Pike and Perch Interactions Linear system!!!!
Population model on log scale (making things linear): xt = a1xt-1 + a2yt-1+ a3zt-1 yt = b1xt-1 + b2yt-1+ b3zt-1 zt = c1xt-1 + c2yt-1+ c3zt-1 x = young pike y = older pike z = perch May be written (after some matrix algebra): xt = a1xt-1 + a2xt-2+ a3xt-3 yt = b1yt-1 + b2yt-2+ b3yt-3 zt = g1zt-1 + g2zt-2+ g3zt-3 B = reproduction rate s1 = survival first year s2 = survival older ones = Nt-1(Bs1 + s2) Density-dependence Nt = exp(yt) = Nt-1exp(b1yt-1+b2yt-2+b3yt-3) = Nt-1R Hence, we expect a three-lagged structure in survival

Hypotheses • Three-lagged density structure of survival • Sfemales>Smales • Sa=1 is size-dependent and more correlated with prey density than Sa>1 • Fishing mortality (a>1) is correlated with effort and highest for females • Recruitment to fisheries is size-dependent and highest for females • Dispersal is density-dependent

General Model Constraints • Right censoring at winter occasions • Neither S or y are separatetly estimable for winter-to-spring intervals • yw—>s = 0 • Sw—>s = Ss—>w • p could be estimated for each occasion • Different methods and efforts during spring • Ps(t) • Consistent winter fisheries throughout the study • Covariate-specific estimates
Fishing mortality (a>1) Logit[p(a>1)t]= logit[F(a>1)t] = -1.01 + 0.58B + 0.12sex + 0.37et
North South e = 0 Recruitment to winter fisheries Logit[p(a=1)] = -1.61 + 0.79B + 0.01sex + 0.57l + 0.32et
Dispersal (a=1) logit[y(a=1)] = -2.17 + 1.64B – 0.11sex + 0.09l – 0.14B*l
Dispersal (a>1) logit[y(a>1)t] = -3.94 + 1.16sex + 1.11B + 0.33gt – 1.03B*gt Increasing relative density in south
Survival (a=1) logit[S(a=1)t] = 9.74 – 0.53B – 1.45sex + 0.14Zt- 2.01Nt + 7.36l – 1.98Nt*l logN = 3 Z = 0
Survival (a>1) logit[S(a>1)t] = 2.95 – 1.23B – 0.47Nt + 0.29B*Nt – 0.22Nt-1- 0.03Nt-2+ 0.25sex + 0.06Zt logNt-1 and t-2 = 3 Z = 0
Summary • Models with delayed density structure on survival are generally supported • Though—no more than two delays • Highly size-dependent survival at a=1 • Inverse sex effect for a=1 and a>1 • Dispersal is density dependent • Males migrate more than females for a>1 • Inverse size-dependence between basins for a=1 • Fishing mortality is basin and effort dependent • Recruitment to fisheries is not sex dependent and can be predicted from size distribution • Fishing mortality is highest in northern basin
