  1. The estimates (m ± SD) are averaged over three BayesAss runs. Rates are estimated in both directions, from source regions given in the first column ("From") to destination regions in the following columns ("To"). Self-recruitment within each region is shown along the diagonal (in italics), and interregional rates in which 95% confidence intervals do not include zero are in bold.
