Annual census sizes (Na), estimates of the effective number of breeders (Nb) based on microsatellites, and effective number of female breeders (Nbf) based on mtDNA data. Parentheses indicate lower-and upper-bound 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each estimate.

Results are matched to the year to which the estimates apply following Waples (2005).

Annual census size is the sum of wild and ‘at large’ repatriated fish, see text for more details.

mlne is the pseudo-likelihood estimator of Wang (2001).

§

TempoFS is the moments-based estimator of Jorde and Ryman (2007).

ldne is the linkage-disequilibrium-based method of Waples and Do (2008).

**

Fc is the moments-based estimator of Nei and Tajima (1981).
