Total Deployed is the total number of mussels released into the study area. Number Included in Study refers to the number of mussels that were rescanned at least once during their respective study period. Rescan Rate is the number of mussels included in the study compared to the total number deployed. The Number Mobilized is the number of rescanned mussels that were found downstream of their deployment position during the study. The Mobilization Rate refers to the number of mussels mobilized compared to the number of mussels scanned at least once during the study. Median Mobilization Flow is the median of the maximum flow recorded between when the mobilization was recorded and the previous field visit for each individual mussel. The range in parenthesis denotes the minimum and maximum flows after which each species group was scanned.
