rtMortalityStableSeek: seeks day1 mortality rates for F&M that give popn stability

Description Usage Arguments

Description

rtMortalityStableSeek seeks a age1 mortality rate for F that leads to population stability and for M that leads to the user supplied ratio of males to females. It does this by testing successive mortality rates, starting at very low values and increasing until target values are met. In each case age1 mortality rates are converted into age dependent mortalities using other user inputs. The resulting mortalities are used to fill an age structure from age1. For F, user supplied parameters are used to simulate larval production. The target is to produce the same number of larvae as age1 pupae - thus leading to a stable population. Once a stable female age structure has been achieved, the function searches in the same way for the age1 male mortality rate that generates a male age structure to satisfy the to the user supplied ratio of males to females.
