| Summary: | F I G U R E 5 (left panels, a–e) Posterior distributions of the estimated annual catchability θt,k at each rotary screw trap (RST), (middle panels, f– h) posterior distributions of the annual smolt abundance estimates associated with each upstream RST (Nmt,i), (i) the total smolt abundance for the Restigouche catchment (Nmtot), and (right panels, j–m) posterior distributions of the annual relative proportions of the total smolt abundance t of the Restigouche catchment estimated for each upstream RST and for the unsampled areas (rest, bottom-right panel) using the Restigouche dataset. In the catchability panels (a–e), the dashed gray line is the median, and the light and dark gray areas indicate the 2.5th–97.5th and 25th– 75th interquantile ranges, respectively, of the hyperparameter μθ, that is, the average catchability of each RST of the time series. In the relative k proportions panels (f–i) the thick dashed colored line in the top three panels indicates the average proportion of the total catchment abundance estimated at the upstream RST. The thick dashed gray lines indicate the proportions of the Restigouche catchment wetted areas of the subbasins sampled at the upstream RST(j–l) and the wetted area for the remainder of the Restigouche catchment not sampled by any upstream RST (m); the proportions for the rest of the catchment area change over years based on the specific upstream RSTs that operated in a given year. For all panels, the colored dot is the median, and the thin and thick vertical segments indicate the 2.5th–97.5th and 25th–75th interquantile ranges, respectively.
