k 0.3 0.009942 - maintenance ratio
kap 0.8 0.9502 - allocation fraction to soma
kap_G 0.8 0.8083 - growth efficiency
kap_R 0.95 0.475 - reproduction efficiency

Discussion

  • kap_R is set at 0.95/2, since the species is hermaphroditic
  • settlement is assumed to coincide with end of metam

Facts

  • Hermaphroditic, 6 nauplius stages, 1 non-feeding cyprid stage (Ref: Wiki)
