Discussion

  • males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hp only, while E_Hj is assumed to equal E_Hp
  • Information about rates or times is hard to find
  • Litter interval is assumed to be 40 d

Facts

  • iteroparous, but males die after loss of their hectocatylus at first copulation; females secretes a calcite shell with their first dorsal armes to brood eggs in surface waters (Ref: SukhMeks2009, thecephalopodpage)
