Discussion
- Data from the Eighty Mile Beach population are calculated for f=0.985 based on the ratio of the size attained by the EMB population and the size of the largest published flatback turtle record
- We assume that the density of yolk is different than that of the density of reserve and structure. The yolk density d_Y is introduced as an extra parameter (see also StubMitc2019 and AmP entry for Chelonia mydas).
- Arrhenius temperatue calculated from data on incubation times from Bent2017, but we excluded the data from 32 C where development rates start to decline. 3-parameter Arrhenius function describing an upper boundary for thermal tolerance has been added to capture the slower rate of change of development rate at temperatures near the peak of 34 C.
- Pseudodata point k has been modified to k=0.75 to be in line with other sea turtle models in the collection (see StubMitc2019 and AmP entry for Chelonia mydas)
- L_h for the captive-reared hatchlings based on their specified f, fixing t0 at 27 days (calculations exist for this, but in essence the assumption is that growth begins at the same proportion of time to hatching - about 30% - as it does for C. mydas. See StubMitc2019 for a discussion of t0
- L0Lt data fit poorly as females grow very little after first nesting, yet the model predicts continued growth
- Comment on the entry version: This entry is a continuation of version 2017/07/14 by the same author. Changes introduced in version 2017/11/12 (k = 0.3) were discarded - see discussion point 4. All discussion points relate to the current version.
