Correlation analyses for paired genetic stock composition and stock-specific catch per unit effort (SSCPUE) values.

Strengths of associations, evaluated using Kendall’s τ correlation coefficients, between paired genetic stock composition and stock-specific catch per unit effort (SSCPUE, vessel-day effort) values. Data were collected from nine month-area strata sampled May–September, 2010. The full data set includes all non-zero pairs of data, in contrast to the threshold data set which includes only pairs of data above a minimum stock composition value (min % stock composition). The threshold data set represents the stock composition threshold point above which that value failed to correlate (p-values > 0.05) with SSCPUE. Analyses were performed using data from all stocks and on an individual-stock basis for five stocks (or stock groupings) that represent a range of sample collection conditions.
