Initially, a MizerParams object set up with the mizer setup functions will
have no starvation mortality. This function returns a MizerParams object
with starvation mortality enabled, unless you set starv_coef = 0, which
will disable starvation mortality again. For the details of how starvation
mortality is modelled see getStarvMort().
Arguments
- params
A MizerParams object
- starv_coef
Proportionality constant for starvation mortality. the default is
starv_coef = 10, which has the effect that the instantaneous starvation mortality (1/year) is 1 when the energy deficit is 10% of body weight. Whenstarv_coef = 0there is no starvation mortality. You can set a different value for each species by providing a vector with length equal to the number of species in the model.
