Using closed robust design mark-recapture models, we found, on average, spawning HBC transition to the skipped spawning state with a probability of 0.45 (95% CRI (i.e. credible interval): 0.10, 0.80) and skipped spawners remain in the skipped spawning state with a probability of 0.60 (95% CRI: 0.26, 0.83), yielding an average spawning cycle of every 2.12 years, conditional on survival.

To investigate the possible involvement of cry1, cry2, clock and cycle genes in the monthly spawning cycle of F. fragum, relative transcript abundances were measured using qPCR in samples collected every eight hours (three samples per diel cycle) on each of five days, and two time points on a sixth day.
