Abstract: | It is observed that a dynamical continuity equation for biomass distribution yields the asymptotic steady-state exponential
dependencen=A exp(
) exhibited by certain fishery data, wherem is the biomass of an individual,n is the number of individuals per unit biomass interval, andA,
are positive constants. This dynamical approach to biomass distribution is an alternative to the global maximization principle
proposed recently by Lurié and Wagensberg. |
