Sea Surface Temperature Affects the Reproductive Biology of Female Pearl Perch (Glaucosoma scapulare Macleay, 1881) in Queensland, Australia

Figure 3

Mean monthly gonadosomatic index (GSI, %) for female Glaucosoma scapulare as a function of region, month, and lunar phase quantified using generalised additive modelling (GAM). The solid lines represent mean GSI from the GAM using the best model identified in the analyses. The grey ribbons are 95% confidence intervals. Observed values are shown as crosses. Note: GSI was examined for mature females (>Stage 2, Table 1) only.
