Stage of maturity denoted as IM (immature) and M (mature)
aExcluded from all habitat (on-shelf versus off-shelf) analyses since High Rate tags do not include location estimation (and thus presence on/off continental shelf could not be confirmed)
bExcluded from linear mixed effects models since this individual was the only mature female, but included in off-shelf summary statistics
