`nrowgrids`	is a numeric value which defines the number of rows of the arena.
`ncolgrids`	is a numeric value which defines the number of columns of the arena.
`unitarea`	is the unit area used for estimating density of lobsters.
`initlambda`	is the density of lobsters at the beginning of simulation.
`initD`	is the dispersion index of lobsters on seabed at the beginning of the simulation.
`lobsterSizeFile`	is a csv file that contains the frequency of lobsters class size.
`lobsterSexDist`	is a list that contains the sex ratio of lobsters.
