Discussion
- Chemical pars are assumped to relate to ash-free dry mass; MaleFaga1993 report ash free dry mass over dry mass ratio of 0.263 - 0.297 with mean 0.279, which makes del_W = 3.5842
- Length measurements from Hiro1972 are equatorial length but more recent studies use polar length
- growth and reprod expectations of indivduals A,B,C use measured ingestion as forcing functions
Facts
- Common ctenophore in the West Coast of united states (Ref: Wiki)
- Hermaphrodites and breeding can occur at all sizes (Ref: jellieszone)
- Nice video of feeding (Ref: youtube)
