Discussion

  • assumption: Ww_i excludes eggs
  • temperature T (in C) in tL data is varying as T(t) = 17+11*cos(t*pi*2/365)

Facts

  • spawns once at end of life; no feeding as adult, parasitic stage present (Ref: Wiki)
  • length-weight: Ww in g = 0.00120*(TL in cm)^3 (Ref: fishbase)
  • Ammocoetes stay in freshwater upt 7 yrs, then migrate to sea, returning to spawn and die (Ref: fishbase)
