Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract.—Introduced to Nova Scotia waters in 1942, smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu have provided an alternative fishery to the more popular brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis in local areas. In recent years, angler interest in smallmouth bass has increased dramatically, and a modest tournament fishery has developed in addition to noncompetitive angling. Since 1971, illegal trans-fers and movements of fish within watersheds have been responsible for approximately doubling the distribution of this species over the past 15 years. Estimated annual catch and average catch per angler have increased 32-fold over the same time period. Population structure and length-at-age data from biological surveys in 1992 and 1993 indicated that growth was slower than in other northern waters. Observations of smallmouth bass nesting activity suggest that nest building and spawning commence when water temperature reaches 16-18°C, which typically occurs at the end of May or first week of June in Nova Scotia, and nest guarding is terminated by early July. Management practices focus on restricting the illegal introduction of smallmouth bass to new watersheds and sustaining a quality fishery where smallmouth bass are established.

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.
