Discussion

  • z is not well-fixed by data, size ultimate size is much larger than size at death
  • in view of fitting results, puberty does not coincide with mating and part of structure converts to eggs just before death
  • model abj has been used, meaning that settlement has no effect on acceleration
  • males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
  • mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females

Facts

  • semelparous: death at first spawning, female ventilates eggs and dies after hatching; No food intake during this period (Ref: Fors1984)
  • large bentic eggs (Ref: Fors1984)
