2018_2019FishMasterFile

This file contains all information on fish collection and processing. All demographic data are included in this file. Any empty cells are where data for a given sample were not measured or recorded. Below are descriptions of certain variables:
Species: BG - Bluegill; PS - Pumpkinseed; YP - Yellow perch
TL (mm): Total length of each fish
WT (g): Mass in grams of each fish
Condition factor: Fulton's Condition Factor calculated for each fish
Otolith (y/n): Whether otoliths were successfully recovered from a fish
GSI: Gonadosomatic index calculated for each fish
Alum. Tray weight (g): Weight of aluminum sample trays. Dry weight subsample (g) included the Alum. Tray weight, therefore, the tray weight needed to be subtracted.
Wet weight subsampe (g): Fish homogenate was weighed before drying (used to estimate predator energy density - see bioenergetics model methods in paper)
Dry weight subsample (g): Fish homogenate was weighed after drying (used to estimate predator energy density - see bioenergetics model methods in paper)
