Appendix E. Optimal fitted models (black line) for observed fish counts (red dots) on Bermuda and Grand Cayman. The green lines indicate the differences between the model and the observations.

Bermuda: fit for population sizes: R² = 97.6%, median dispersal distance 0.33 km/yr

Parameters: number of recruits at nursery bay (0 km) = 750; fish counts: 273 at 0.0 km, 113 at 0.7 km, 60 at 2.0 km, 30 at 4.1 km, 0 at 6.1 km, 0 at 8.0 km.

Grand Cayman: fit for population sizes: R² = 99.8%, median dispersal distance 0.063 km/yr

Parameters: number of recruits at nursery bay (0 km) = 69,542; fish counts: 2,552 at 0.0 km, 81 at 0.7 km, 0 at 5.2 km, 122 at 9.7 km, 0 at 13.8 km.
