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
- Data point Lb is hard to believe, given Wwb
Facts
- semelparous: death at first spawning, 10 d after last hatch (Ref: Wiki)
- Digestion efficiency independent of feeding rate (Ref: Heuk1976)
- small eggs with a planktontic larval stage, difficult to culture (Ref: Heuk1976)
- hatches using a hatching gland (Hoyles organ) (Ref: Heuk1976)
- males and females grow at the same rate (Ref: Heuk1976)
