Discussion

  • Bas Kooijman: males and females are assumed to differ in {p_Am} only
  • mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females

Facts

  • Lives at 20 to 1000 m deep on bottum; pelagic stage lasts 120 d (Ref: arkive)
  • Angler-fish eggs are extruded in a buoyant, gelatinous ribbon that may measure more than 10 m x 25 cm and contain more than 1 000 000 eggs (Ref: HislGall2001)
