calc_maturity: Calculates Maturity

In NOAA-EDAB/LeMANS: length-based multispecies analysis by numerical simulation (LeMANS)

Description

The proportion of each species (in each size class) that are considered mature. Matrue indisviduals contribute to SSB.

Usage

calc_maturity(nSize, nSpecies, mBound, scLinfMat, scLinf, parameterValues)

Arguments

nSize	Number of size class intervals species can grow through
nSpecies	Number of species in the model
mBound	Mid point of each size class interval
scLinfMat	A matrix (nSize x nSpecies) of binary values indicating which size classes each species occupies.
scLinf	A vector (length nSpecies) of size classes indicating the maximum size class a species can occupy. Based on L_inf (maximum length)
parameterValues	A Matrix of species specific parameters. See rochet_GB_parameterValues

Value

A matrix is returned

Maturity

A matrix (nSize x nSpecies) of Maturity proportions. Note: Maturity = 0 for size classes in which a species does not reach.
