Data and code for: Effects of turbulence-inducing baffles on passage performance of brook trout, white sucker, and sea lamprey (article submission)

This dataset contains the data and analysis code used to generate the results and figures for the manuscript “Effects of turbulence-inducing baffles on passage performance of brook trout, white sucker, and sea lamprey.” Experiments were performed in a 35-m open-channel flume lined with an attachment-inhibiting substrate under two slopes (1% and 3%), bulk velocities from 0.25 to 3.0 m s⁻¹, and turbulence-inducing baffles (two sizes, 14 configurations).

Response metrics include maximum ascent distance (D_max), attempt/trial outcomes, and covariates (baffle layout, slope, velocity, EDF proxy, temperature, time of day, and fish biometrics). Analyses use accelerated failure-time (AFT) models. Contents. • data/Trial.csv—trial-level covariates & summaries (species, slope, bulk velocity, temperature, baffle size/type/layout, EDF proxy, time of day, D_max summary, success). • data/Tags.csv—fish registry (species, length, mass, tag code, batch). • data/DeletedAttempts.csv—attempt IDs to exclude during analysis (QC). • data/DmaxmodelsProducts_IntAct_ALL.csv—intermediate model outputs used for figures. • code/1-GLFCTurbulence_DataAnalysis_Pub.Rmd—master analysis (loads data, fits AFT, reproduces figures/tables). • code/2-AFT_*Plots_MustRunAfterMasterCode.R—species-specific plotting scripts (lamprey, sucker, trout). • code/ModelPlotter_MedDmax_StandAlone.R—prediction/plot utility. • docs/README.md—how to run, environment, file map. • docs/data_dictionary.xlsx—variables, units, and descriptions.
