Set starvation mortality.

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().

setStarvation(params, starv_coef = 10)

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. When starv_coef = 0 there 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.

Value

A MizerParams object with starvation mortality
