Spatial hierarchical Bayesian models for stock-recruitment analysis of pink salmon (<i>Oncorhynchus gorbuscha</i>)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To improve the understanding of effects of environmental factors on spawner-to-recruit survival rates of pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha), we developed several spatial hierarchical Bayesian models (HBMs). We applied these models to 43 pink salmon stocks in the Northeast Pacific. By using a distance-based, spatially correlated prior distribution for stock-specific parameters, these multistock models explicitly allowed for positive correlation among nearby salmon stocks in their productivities and coefficients of early summer coastal sea surface temperature (SST). To our knowledge, this is the first time that such distance-based, spatial prior probability distributions for parameters have been applied to fisheries problems. We found that the spatial HBMs produce more consistent and precise estimates of effects of SST on productivity than a single-stock approach that estimated parameters for each stock separately. Similar to earlier results using mixed-effects models for the same stocks, we found significant positive effects of SST on survival rates of northern pink salmon stocks, but weaker negative effects of SST on survival rates of southern pink salmon stocks. However, we show a smoother transition in magnitude of effects between these regions.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
