From: Brief floodplain inundation provides growth and survival benefits to a young-of-year fish in an intermittent river threatened by water development

Figure 6

(a) log survivorship with age in floodplain (solid lines) and main channel (dashed lines) sites. Sites displayed represent predicted growth rate in high-growth pools (i.e. upper 25th percentile), representing the maximum growth benefit offered in each habitat. (b) percent difference in survivorship with age for a combination of floodplain (FP) and main channel (MC) fish growth rates: maximum growth rate FP vs mean growth rate in MC (solid line); maximum growth rate on FP vs maximum growth rate in MC (dashed line); mean growth rate on FP vs mean in MC (dotted line); and maximum growth rate in MC vs mean growth on FP (dot-dash line). Both x-axes extend to 550 days which is the mean age at sexual maturity for bony bream.
