2. Modeling in STELLA
the results that you get for different assumptions about the reproduction
rate.
2. Specify the whale mortality rate as a function of the total population size.
Can you reach a steady-state for the population? If so, how quickly can
you reach a steady-state?
3. Run your whale population model for different DT and different solution
algorithms. Observe the differences in results for the final period of your
model runs. What is an appropriate choice of DT and solution method
for your model?
