Discussion

  • Temperatures has been guessed on the basis of preferred temperature, as given in fishbase
  • Males are supposed to differ from females by {p_Am} only
  • mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females

Facts

  • length weight: Ww in g = 0.00912*(TL in cm)^3.08 (Ref: fishbase)
  • It is today heavily exploited for the use in aquaculture to remove salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) (Ref: Wiki)
