Background

Hierarchical Bayesian models were fitted to the hydroacoustic density data and acoustic tag depth detection for Kootenay Lake using using R version 3.0.2 (Team, 2013 ) and JAGS 3.3.0 (Plummer, 2012 ) which interfaced with each other via the jaggernaut (Thorley, 2014 ) R package. For additional information on hierarchical Bayesian modelling in the BUGS language, of which JAGS uses a dialect, the reader is referred to Kery and Schuab (2011) pages 41-44.
