curve in Stock Synthesis is $b\!=\!0$. This also holds for the R
functions `ss3_code()` and `schnute()` used in this vignette. When
estimating $b$ as a floating-point number, there is effectively no risk
of the parameter having the value of precisely zero, as long as the
initial value is non-zero. To use a Gompertz growth curve, the $b$
of the parameter becoming precisely zero during estimation, as long as
the initial value is non-zero. To use a Gompertz growth curve, the $b$
parameter can be fixed at a small value such as 0.0001, as demonstrated
in @sec-special.
