The correlation coefficient between the parasites abundance and the geographic distance between locations was low and marginally significant ( r = .434, p ‐value = .04).
The correlation coefficient between the parasites abundance and the geographic distance between locations was low and marginally significant ( r = .434, p ‐value = .04).
Yet despite the potential for variability among fish of different ages within a location, our analyses consistently revealed highly significant spatial differences in otolith chemistry signatures among locations.
