Figure 2. Predicted growth (g⋅g −1⋅d−1) of juvenile walleye pollock from the bioenergetics model.

Figure 2

Top panel (a and b) shows growth under the base model scenarios for 2005 and 2010 (W = 2.5 g, Temp = average temperature in upper 30 m, Inline graphic = 1.0, Inline graphic = prey energy density, Inline graphic = 3.92 kJ⋅g−1; Inline graphic = 5.29 kJ⋅g−1). Middle panel (c and d) shows changes in predicted growth when temperature is increased by 1 standard deviation (SD). Predicted growth could not be estimated at one station in 2005 (c) in the inner domain under increased temperatures because the water temperature in the upper 30 m was greater than 15°C (Tcm = 15°C in the model). Lower panel (e and f) shows changes in predicted growth when prey energy density is increased by 1 SD. Spatial plots of predicted growth when parameters are decreased by 1 SD are not shown, but can be visualized by subtracting the anomalies (lower two panels) from the base scenario plots (top panel).
