Testing an Individual-based Salmonid Model With Growth, Risk, and Expected Maturity as Movement Objectives.
Habitat cells are shaded by depth- brighter cells are deeper.
Fish in each cell are displayed from top to bottom in order of decreasing length. The simulation is initialized with 10 trout of nonuniform size. The animation automatically replays when finished. In this EM simulation, the most preferred cell is the deepest one, which offers highest survival probability and food intake sufficient to minimize starvation risk. The largest trout always occupy this preferred cell.
