Rename size classes? #52
Comments
Hi Mike,
I guess you could change it, but then it would be inconsistent because the
small forage fish are both larvae and juveniles. It would be
immature forage and adult forage
larval large pelagic, juvenile large pelagic, and adult large pelagic
larval demersal, juvenile demersal, and adult demersal
Why are the long names (e.g. medium large pelagics) even needed in the
code?

really nice to drop the "small Large Pelagic" and "large Large Pelagic"
terminology.

@cpetrik I think the long names are only used in the diagnostic output. I just noticed that @kristenkrumhardt has a plot titled "Total large large pelagic fish" in her poster, which reminded me that this has come up a few times. It's a bummer that one size class encompasses both larval and juvenile foragers, that definitely adds a layer of difficulty to changing the naming scheme. |
@mnlevy1981 , for diagnostic names, I would go with: immature forage fish, mature forage fish, larval large pelagic fish, juvenile large pelagic fish, adult large pelagic fish, larval demersal fish, juvenile demersal fish, and adult demersal fish. In the code, there should be 3 size classes (small, medium, large) and two maturity classes (immature, mature). |
