Discussion
- Males ase assumed to differ froam females by {p_Am} only
- Addition of 2 yrs to back-calculated age in tL data was necessary to arrive at the correct origin
- mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females
Facts
- From photo: SL = 0.89 * TL (Ref: Wiki)
- length-weight: Ww in g = 0.00141*(TL in cm)^3.120 (Ref: fishbase)
