| kap_R | 0.95 | 0.475 | - | reproduction efficiency |
Discussion
- kap_R is set at 0.95/2, since the species is hermaphroditic
Facts
- Hermaphroditic; Individuals separated by a distance greater than 20cm are sterile, indicating that self-fertilisation does not occur (Ref: odyssey)
- 6 nauplius stages, 1 non-feeding(?) cyprid stage; Naulpius I is also non-feeding (lasts several h) (Ref: Lewi1975)
