Demersal spawning in capelin (Mallotus villosus) on the northeast coast of Newfoundland
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Demersal spawning in capelin (Mallotus villosus) on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland Paulette Penton I investigated the physical characteristics of spawning sites and early life history stages of demersally spawning capelin (Mallotus vllosus) on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland.I found that the eleven demersal spawning sites discovered during this study (2003)(2004)(2005) were located primarily in depressions.Site use was associated with the suitability of both the thermal habitat and sediment distribution, demonstrating the importance of these features to the characterization of favourable spawning habitat in demersally spawning capelin.Egg abundance at demersal sites was similar to or higher than at a nearby beach site and egg mortality was higher at the beach in both years of this study.Developmental rates observed at demersal sites in this study do not support previous f,rndings on egg development at the beach.Egg development was slower than at the beach, resulting in demersally spawned eggs hatching 8-10 days later than predicted.Environmental cues that stimulate the release of larvae from the sediment at beaches in Newfoundland occur at demersal spawning sites, but do not appear to stimulate larval emergence.Instead, larvae in good condition appeared to emerge continuously from the sediment.Results from this study suggest that demersal spawning is a viable reproductive mode on the Northeast coast of Newfoundland.Finally, I would like to thank two special people who are close to my heart.To Kelley, my wonderful loving sister and best friend, you have always supported me and been there to celebrate good times, counsel me when I was stressed, and set me straight when my mind flurries out of control.To Karl, my wonderful partner and best friend, thank you for always being positive (even though I hate it sometimes), for always believing in me and of course for moving to the 'Peg to endure my insanity.I love you both!! nt

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.
