Challenges for Diadromous Fishes in a Dynamic Global Environment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<em>Abstract</em>.-Several coregonid species in northern latitudes exhibit diadromous behavior and may share river/lake systems with conspecifics who are freshwater residents. Although both life history strategies have been reported in a variety of systems, little information on the extent and variability in diadromous behavior both within and among populations exists. We addressed this issue using inconnu <em>Stenodus leucichthys </em>from the Mackenzie River drainage (Northwest Territories, Canada) as a model. At the extremes of their distribution within this system, inconnu have been characterized by alternative life history strategies. Those in the north exhibit diadromous behavior, while those in the south demonstrate life history closure within the upper reaches of the system (i.e., freshwater residency). We examined the otolith strontium profiles of inconnu collected from 12 regions throughout the Mackenzie watershed to (1) determine the geographical range over which diadromy occurs in this system, (2) characterize the variability in diadromous behavior within and among populations, and (3) identify physical/ environmental factors that may influence choice between a diadromous or freshwater life history. Our results demonstrate that the degree of diadromy within populations of inconnu tends to gradually decrease with distance from marine waters, rather than showing an abrupt transition from diadromy to freshwater residency. We conclude that distance from a marine food source plays an important role in determining whether fish remain in freshwater or migrate to the sea to feed. Within diadromous populations of inconnu, there is a substantial level of flexibility in the extent and frequency of marine migration by individuals.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
