  1. Fixed effects considered included: sex, site of last departure (Pribilof or Bogoslof islands), capture year (2006 or 2007), mass anomaly at capture (mass minus an average by sex), and day of departure since 1 October (day). Columns include estimated coefficients and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for each effect.
