Synopsis of the ecological and bioeconomic linear GLMs for European anchovy and European sardine. The letters “w” and “s” after the name of the climatic variables correspond to the winter and summer sub-variables, respectively. The number after the name of the climatic variables means the amount of lag (in years) used. Suffix “_sq” and “_cb” means square and cube transformation, respectively
