get_tj_foetus
Get scaled age at metamorphosis for foetal development
Contents
Syntax
[tau_j, tau_p, tau_b, lj, lp, lb, li, rj, rB, info] = get_tj_foetus (p, f)
Description
Obtains scaled ages at metamorphosis, puberty, birth and the scaled lengths at these ages in case of foetal development Multiply the result with the somatic maintenance rate coefficient to arrive at unscaled ages. Metabolic acceleration occurs between birth and metamorphosis. Notice j-p-b sequence in output, due to the name of the routine
Input
- p: 6-vector with parameters: g, k, l_T, v_H^b, v_H^j v_H^p
- f: optional scalar with functional response (default f = 1)
Output
- tau_j: scaled age at metamorphosis \tau_j = a_j k_M
- tau_p: scaled age at puberty \tau_p = a_p k_M
- tau_b: scaled age at birth \tau_b = a_b k_M
- lj: scaled length at end of V1-stage
- lp: scaled length at puberty
- lb: scaled length at birth
- li: ultimate scaled length
- rj: scaled exponential growth rate between s and j
- rB: scaled von Bertalanffy growth rate between b and s and between j and i
- info: indicator equals 1 if successful, 0 otherwise
Remarks
See get_tj in case of egg development
