get_tp_foetus
Gets scaled age at puberty for foetal development
Contents
Syntax
[tp tb lp lb info] = get_tp_foetus(p, f, lb0)
Description
Obtains scaled age at puberty in the case of foetal development; Food density is assumed to be constant. Multiply the result with the somatic maintenance rate coefficient to arrive at age at puberty.
Input
- p: 5-vector with parameters: g, k, l_T, v_H^b, v_H^p
- f: optional scalar with functional response (default f = 1)
- lb0: optional scalar with scaled length at birth
or optional 2-vector with scaled length, l, and scaled maturity, vH
for a juvenile that is now exposed to f, but previously at another fOutput
- tp: scaled with age at puberty \tau_p = a_p k_M
if length(lb0)==2, tp is the scaled time till puberty
- tb: scaled with age at birth \tau_b = a_b k_M
- lp: scaler length at puberty
- lb: scaler length at birth
- info: indicator equals 1 if successful, 0 otherwise
Remarks
Function get_tp does the same for egg development.
Example of use
get_tp_foetus([.5, .1, .1, .01, .2])
