Discussion

  • males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
  • mod_1: tp ignored since (tp,Lp) is inconsistent with tL data
  • mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females

Facts

  • depth range 180 to 1700 m; bathypelagic by day but moves upwards in the water column at night to feed at middle depths (Ref: Wiki)
  • length-weight: wet weight (g) = 0.00046*(TL in cm)^3.15 (Ref: fishbase)
