Table 2 Model comparison for the salinity preference experiment. 'Sal' is the salinity of the more saline tank, ‘Sal difference’ is the difference in salinity between the two tanks, which was correlated with ‘Sal’ (i.e., the higher salinities had larger differences in salinity between the two tanks).
