**Description of data files**
# # # # # # # # # 
This file accompanies the repository submission of all data used in the above publication in Molecular Ecology.

The data consists of two files, all in .csv format.
Each file is explained in turn below.
# # # # # # # # # 

"UtsAdults.csv"

This file contains all phenotypic and reproductive fitness data for each individual adult salmon sampled at the lower Utsjoki study site over four cohort years (2011-2015). ID corresponds to ID in DRYAD submission: 10.5061/dryad.3ss2t53.

The columns contain the following information.

ID: unique identifier for each individual. The first 3 letters indicate the sampling location, the first two-digit number the sampling year (followed by an "A" for adults) and the second three-digit number a sequential unique identifier.
RunYear: the year in which adults were sampled and associated offspring the following spring
Sex: male or female, assessed by visual inspection.
Weight: in kg.
Length: in cm.
Condition: the residual from a linear model of weight predicted by length for each sex and spawning cohort; individuals that were heavier than expected based on their length have positive values and those that were lighter than expected have negative values.
Respawner: has this individual spawned before, based on morphological indicators? Logical (1/0 = yes/no).
FWage: the number of years spent in freshwater as recorded during sampling from scale morphology.
RecordedSeaAge: the number winters spent at sea before spawning (sea-winters), as recorded during sampling from scale morphology.
InterpSeaAge: for individuals where age could not be determined based on scale morphology, sea age interpolated from the individual's weight according to the weight distribution of known-age individuals.
SeaAge: the number of sea winters spent at sea before spawning, used in analyses. This combines RecordedAge where possible, with missing data replaced by InterpAge. 
NrOffsp: number of offspring assigned to this individual based on parentage analysis.
NrMates: number of other individuals assigned as the other parent of this individual's offspring, i.e. the minimum number of mates that this individual had.
AnnualAdultSampleSize: annual sampling effort of adults, as the number of adults caught in the relevant sampling year.
AnnualOffspSampleSize: annual sampling effort of offspring, as the number of adults caught in the relevant sampling year.
NA = missing data.

"UtsParentageAssignments.csv"

This file contains the output of the pedigree fit, i.e. parentage assignments, for all sampled offspring sampled at the lower Utsjoki study site over four cohort years (2011-2015). ID corresponds to ID in DRYAD submission: 10.5061/dryad.3ss2t53.

"NA" means that the parent assignment was made with insufficient confidence (<90%), and "us" means that the assignment is confidently not assigned to one of the sampled adults, i.e. the parent is confidently an unsampled individual.

The columns contain the following information:

OffspID: unique identifier, as above, for the offspring individual.
Dam: unique identifier (or NA or us), as above, for its mother.
Sire: unique identifier (or NA or us), as above, for its father.
DamProb: The probability of offspring assigned to the dam.
SireProb: The probability of offspring assigned to the sire.
