Four decades of climatic fluctuations and fish recruitment stability across a marine-freshwater gradient

These data were derived from the following resources available in the public domain: (1) Department of California Fish and Game San Francisco Bay Study (URL: https://filelib.wildlife.ca.gov/Public/BayStudy/); (2) NOAA/UCSD Shore Stations Farallon Islands station (URL: https://shorestations.ucsd.edu/data-farallon/); and (3) California Department of Water Resources dayflow (URL: https://data.cnra.ca.gov/dataset/dayflow). All datasets were filtered to the same time periods (April to October 1980 to 2018) and summarized as mean annual values: (1) San Francisco Bay Study: log-transformed mean annual catch per unit effort of 18 age-0 fishes at 35 core stations ('CPUE'); (2) zscore-transformed Farallon Islands: mean annual sea surface temperature ('SST') that incorporates interpolated missing values from seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models-- see associated script; (3) Dayflow: zscore-transformed mean annual Net Delta Outflow ('Flow').
