Eurasian perch growth information and gravel pit characteristics dataset

These are supplementary files for the article "Environmental determinants of perch (<i>Perca fluviatilis</i>) growth and the performance of simple vs. complex ecological predictors" by Leander Höhne et al. <br>"Supporting_Information_S4_Complex_Model_#20" = R script to generate results of the "best-performing complex model" to predict perch growth in gravel pits, referenced as S4 in Supporting Information of Höhne et al."Supporting_Information_S5_Simple_Model_#20" = R script to generate results of the "best-performing simple model" to predict perch growth in gravel pits, referenced as S5 in Supporting Information of Höhne et al."Fish.csv" = Raw data files of operculum-radii-at-age measurements of Eurasian perch from 13 gravel pit lakes in Lower Saxony, Germany, sampled by gillnetting and electrofishing."Lakes.csv" = Values for 16 biotic and abiotic variables of the same 13 gravel pit lakes, describing their morphometry, nutrient status, habitat availability, fish community, etc."Hoehne_fish" and Hoehne_lakes" contain the same data, but with more descriptive headers to facilitate interpretation, saved as Excel-files <br>
