Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
- End of acceleration is assumed to coincide with puberty
- Mantle length is assumed to equal pen length in tL data
- mod_1: new reproduction, Ww_b, LWw data
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- length-weight: Ww (in g) = 0.118*(ML in cm)^2.47 (Ref: PiatZumh2015)
- Programmed death, not by ageing (Ref: Wiki)
Acknowledgment
- I want to thank Alexey Golikov for pointing to additional data
