Ecotypes
In the ypr
package a population is considered to be
group of interbreeding fish that are indistinguishable to anglers.
Ecotypes are groups of individuals with a population that have different
life-history strategies. Consequently, ecotypes must share key fishery
(pi
, Llo
, Lup
, Nc
,
rho
, Hm
and q
) and stock
recruitment (BH
, RK
, tR
and
Rmax
) parameters.y To use a yield-per-recruit approach it
is also necessary to assume that the relative proportion of recruits
(RPR
) adopting each life-history strategy is independent of
the size and composition of the parental stock.
Two Ecotypes
Consider a population with a smaller ecotype and a second larger ecotype that delays maturation in order to achieve sufficient size to switch to piscivory which allows it to grow much larger.
