Discussion
- Reprod buffer builds up on trunk, so the basis growth with L^2, and contribution to total trunc length with N/L^2
- Allocation to reproduction starts at birth, so E_Hp = E_Hb
- Parameters tuned by hand
Facts
- Produces a new house each 2 h (marine snow) (Ref: Wiki)
- dies at first spawning (Ref: Wiki)
