| k | 0.3 | 0.3061 | - | maintenance ratio |
Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hp only
- The reproduction rate seems very small for a big fish with tiny eggs
- In view of low somatic maintenance, pseudodata k_J = 0.002 1/d is replaced by pseudodata k = 0.3
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- Subtropical; Weight (g) - Total Length (cm) relationship: W = 0.00814*TL^3.071 (Ref: fishbase)
- Both eyes can be dextral or sinistral (left or right side of body) (Ref: ADW)
