Competing Interests
The funders (IC Independent Consulting and WildFish Research) provided support in the form of salaries for authors (SJK & CAG, respectively), but did not have any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the ‘authors contributions’ section. Furthermore, these commercial affiliations do not alter the author's adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials.
