Quasi-Akaike information criterion corrected for low sample size (QAICc) table showing the results of Cormack–Jolly–Seber models used to test if immobilization treatment had an effect on monthly survival of lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) after acoustic tag surgery in the Fox River, Wisconsin, in November 2021, including QAICc scores, the difference in QAICc score between the specified model and the top model (∆QAICc), and the Akaike weights (w_i). Values were corrected for overdispersion based on a median ĉ value of 2.06
