Implication

Findings reveal that body condition predicts survival in fish species, indicating impacts of physiological stress.

Key Points

  • The research aims to determine if body condition correlates with fish survival rates in a stream.
  • Conducted a mark–recapture survey of three fish species every 2 months over 28 months.
  • Utilized a Cormack–Jolly–Seber model in the Bayesian state–space framework to analyze survival rates.
  • Evaluated body condition changes seasonally across different temperature conditions.
  • Body condition varied seasonally, peaking in spring and dropping in fall.
  • Survival rates decreased in warmer seasons across all fish species.
  • Higher body condition correlated with better survival in warmer months, particularly for the Mottled Sculpin.
