I know this question was asked at the meeting on Apr 6 and I finally got around to looking at the data-
Q: Did fish from 2004 use the same home ranges in 2005?
A: I had three of 8 fish change home ranges between the two years. All three were males- two were small males (25" and 27" in 2004, Age 4 in 2004) the third male was larger and older- 36" in 2004 and age 7.
Also interesting is that male and female fish used different parts of the lake. I found a statistical relationship between sex and location in the lake. Females used the east end of the lake more. By statistically significant, I mean that there is less than a 1% chance that what I observed happed at random- there is some reason that the females chose the eastern end. Now I need to find out what that reason is!
