Converts from capacity/productivity parameters to alpha/beta stock-recruit parameters where productivity is in terms of smolts per spawner and alpha is terms of smolts per egg.

Usage

calc_SRRpars(p, capacity, f = 1, p_female = 1, type = c("BH", "Ricker"))

Arguments

p

Numeric, the productivity parameter that sets the maximum survival as the initial abundance approaches zero

capacity

Numeric, the capacity parameter that set the maximum survivors

f

Fecundity, the spawning output per mature female

p_female

The proportion of females per spawner

type

Character, the functional form of the stock-recruit relationship

Value

A vector for alpha and beta value, respectively

Details

$$\alpha = \dfrac{P}{f \times p_{female}}$$

For the Beverton-Holt stock recruit relationship: $$\beta = \dfrac{\alpha}{C}$$

For the Ricker stock recruit relationship: $$\beta = \dfrac{\alpha}{Ce}$$, \(e\) is Euler's number.
