| Title | Understanding Latitudinal Trends in Fish Body Size through Models of Optimal Seasonal Energy Allocation |
| Creator | Garvey, James E Marschall, Elizabeth A |
| Description | For fish at high latitudes, short growing seasons should constrain size-at-age, although the converse often occurs. We used a dynamic state variable model to find energy allocation strategies to length, fat, and ovaries that maximize expected egg production of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). We determined how latitudes and rations affect optimal allocation and then simulated growth using optimal strategies. A theoretical reciprocal transplant explored how latitude-specific optimal... |
