Growth increment data

Growth increment measurements from ocean perch otoliths for each discrete monthly time period. These data are used in the univariate mixed modeling analysis for the response variable of Growth. IDCode: unique identifier for each fish. Age.years.cap: age of the fish in years at date of capture. Age.month.cap: age of the fish in months at date of capture. Month.code.cap: month code for the date of capture, e.g. 75 = Dec 1996. FishID: = IDCode. Growth: measured value of the growth increment for a discrete monthly time period (μm). Month: a code designating the specific month and year of each monthly resolved increment (i.e. 75 = Dec 1996, 76 = Jan 1997, etc.). Age: age when each monthly increment was formed (total months). fMonth = Month (as factor).
