Parameter ranges for characterizing the intra-annual distribution of predictors in Equation (C3)

Parameter	Description	Sampled range	Unit	Comments on range
X(0)	Initial structural mass	4.5–5000	g	Chosen to be well inclusive of the range of X(0) described in Broekhuizen et al. (1994)
Y(0)	Initial reversible mass	0.019–9990	g	Chosen to be sufficiently wider than the range of X(0)
EA	Expected resource intake	19.5–200 000	g	Chosen to cover the range of intra-annual surplus energy across fish taxa (e.g., Hiyama and Kitahara 1993)
M	Measure of evenness in temporal distribtion of incoming energy throughout a year	0.0004–0.4	–	Chosen to be consistent with the range of M in Fig. A3
ρ	Maximum ratio between reversible and structural mass	0.66–200	–	Chosen to sample four orders of magnitude around the value of ρ used in the model
