Rocky Mountain alpine lake brook trout census and effective sizes [2017-2019]

Data were collected each year during the summer from 2017 to 2019. Census size (Nc) estimates were generated using mark-recapture methods involving multiple recapture events, and estimated using the Schnabel method. Effective number of breeder (Nb) estimates were generated using the Linkage Disequilibrium Method in the NeEstimator V2 software, from genotypes of year 0+ individuals. Three of these lakes were subjected to size-selective harvesting beginning in the fall of 2017, and were harvested each proceeding fall.
