Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract.—Otolith Sr:Ca ratios were used to determine migrational histories of American eels Anguilla rostrata in an eastern Canadian coastal stream that is impounded at the head of tide. American eels sampled from the estuary were smaller (41.0 6 9.3 cm [mean 6 SD], N 5 324) and younger (ages 1–4) than those in a freshwater pond (65.0 6 7.5 cm, N 5 265; ages 11–26) 2.5 km upstream of the head of tide. The Sr:Ca ratios permitted identification of three migrational contingents. In 7 of 13 (54%) American eels taken in the estuary, Sr:Ca ratios declined to 4.76 6 1.22 3 1023, indicating direct migration from the sea to estuarine settlement sites. In the 6 other American eels (46%), Sr:Ca ratios indicated an approach to freshwater soon after arrival in continental waters, followed by settlement in the estuary where ratios stabilized at 4.50 6 1.23 3 1023. In all 15 American eels sampled from the freshwater pond, Sr:Ca ratios indicated settlement in freshwater in the elver year and no subsequent change of habitat salinity (postelver ratio, 0.64 6 0.66 3 1023). The lack of evidence for postelver movements between freshwater and brackish water contrasts with literature findings that such movements are common in systems where dams do not impede access to freshwater. Dams may hamper normal American eel movements between rivers and estuaries, even in watercourses in which some American eels are able to colonize

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.
