Discussion

  • males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
  • mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females

Facts

  • fresh and brackish waters (Ref: Wiki)
  • Males carry eggs on a supraoccipital hook; uses its lobed swimbladder, linked to ribs and lateral line nerve, as acoustic apparatus (Ref: BerrAday2004)
  • Temp range 21-31 C (Ref: BerrAday2004)
