Model terms are: Anim = genetic effect of an individual with full pedigree; Year × tank = random interaction of birth year and family rearing tank; Year = fixed effect of birth year; Year × stat = fixed interaction of birth year and testing stations in fresh and sea water; Year × sex × mat = fixed interaction of birth year, sex and maturity; Year × stat × sex × mat = fixed interaction of birth year, station, sex and maturity; and Tsum (year) = covariate of cumulative temperature sum at date of recording, nested within birth year.
