“…DEB theory has been used to answer different questions in ecology of fishes: management in fisheries (Jusup, Klanjscek, Matsuda, & Kooijman, ), prediction of the growth and reproduction during spawning migration (Einarsson, Birnir, & Sigurosson, ; Pecquerie, Petitgas, & Kooijman, ) or under different environmental conditions (Rinaldi et al., ), and comparison of life strategies between species (Freitas et al., ; Pecquerie, Johnson, Kooijman, & Nisbet, ; van der Veer, Kooijman, & van der Meer, ). Moreover, nesting a DEB model within a population dynamics model provides realistic descriptions and predictions of population dynamics, especially when populations are facing food limitations (Beaudouin et al., ).…”
