Mixed-stock predictions of the nursery origin for sub-adult and adult yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) in the Gulf of Mexico. Percent contribution estimates from HISEA and random forest (RF) assignment methods. RF ALL represents random forest classification to the region with the highest probability (no samples excluded) while results from RF 0.5 is limited to individual assignment where the probability of assignment to one region is ≥ 50%. Percent contribution estimates to each of the four nurseries (Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea, Cape Verde, Gulf of Guinea) is shown for sub-adult and adult yellowfin tuna based on their birth year(s): (A) 2013 (n = 96), (B) 2014 (n = 152), (C) 2015 (n = 59). Individuals from the two nurseries in the eastern Atlantic Ocean (EAO) represent trans-Atlantic migrants to this fishery.
