American white pelican predation on adult sockeye (2014-2023)

Adult Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) migrate through the area of the
Columbia River, USA, home to the largest breeding colony of American White
Pelicans (Pelecanus erythrorhynchos). To assess the extent of pelican
predation on these salmon, a state-space Bayesian model was employed,
estimating predation and survival probabilities with spatial and temporal
detail, as well as the annual total of salmon consumed by pelicans. This
dataset includes capture-recapture-recovery data, adult salmon counts, and
the model code used to generate the predation probabilities, survival
probabilities, and yearly estimates of salmon consumed by pelicans.
