Discussion
- Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- Surface to a depth of 550 m; Stomage analysis: 82% had eaten squid and 53% had eaten fish. have special organs next to their eyes to heat their eyes and brain. Temperatures of 10 to 15 C above the surrounding water temperature have been measured. (Ref: Wiki)
- Larval prickly scales are lost during development (Ref: lib)
- LJFL = 7.7911 + 1.0647 EFL (lower jaw versus eye fork length in cm (Ref: WangSun2003)
- FL = 20.6207 + 1.4847 EFL (Ref: NOAA)
