Table 3 Selection of the most informative model (using the Akaike information criterion) to explain the variability of the frequency of parasitized fish larvae species considering as predictors the variables larval fish abundance, season (Spring–Summer and Autumn–Winter), fish species (H. cunninghami, A. crinitus, G. marmoratus, Myxodes sp., O. jenynsi), and area (Isla Santa María and Punta Coloso).
Type of model | Model | Akaike information criterion (AIC) |
---|---|---|
Generalized linear model delta-Gamma | Parasite frequency = Larval fish abundance + Season + Fish species + Area | 279.4 |
Generalized linear model negative binomial Zero-inflated (delta-Negative binomial) | Parasite frequency = Larval fish abundance + Season + Fish species + Area | 286.4 |
Generalized linear model Poisson Zero-inflated (delta-Poisson) | Parasite frequency = Larval fish abundance + Season + Fish species + Area | 384.2 |
