Abbreviations: FF, pure farm group; GLMM, generalised linear mixed effects model; LF, fork length; LMM, linear mixed effects model; WW, pure wild group.

Also shown in parentheses are the means expressed relative to (divided by) the means for the WW reference group, and whether groups differ significantly (based on the GLMM for representation and the LMM for LF, both of which control for egg size variation) from the WW group: P-value bands.

a

P-value band: 0.05–0.01.

b

P-value band: 0.01–0.001.

c

P-value band: 0.1–0.05.

d

P-value band: <0.001.
