Summary of the linear mixed effects models used to test for the effects of removal pressure through angling and environmental characteristics (productivity, predation pressure, and abundance) on length at age 1 (n = 211), length at age 2 (n = 159), and juvenile growth rate (n = 159). Productivity refers to the residuals from the relationship between removal pressure and lake productivity. Estimate ± SE are reported, and significant P-values are displayed in bold.

¹Age was included in the models with length at age.

²FL at age 1 was included in the models with growth rate.

^*Not available as age was a categorical variable.
