2.3 Software Overview
Fish B/oenergetics 3.0 allows you to combine your field data with known physiological fish
parameters to create simulations depicting the consumption and growth characteristics of
your fish. To run a simulation, you need user input data that you've estimated (temperature,
diet, prey energy density, etc.); user input parameters, such as the date range of your
simulation and the start and final mass of your predator; and Fish Bioenergetics 3.0 to
calculate daily consumption and growth.
