DEB parameters and state variables used in the baseline model initialisation.

All parameters follow DEB notations. ‘Entities’ refer to the entities in the model that are impacted by the parameters; “G” for global, “I” for individuals. ‘Change frequency’ indicates how often the parameter changes; “-” indicates no change. ‘Notes’ hold references for values relating to the population dynamics of southern elephant seals, relevant equations for parameters, and further details on parameters: where a = DEBtool value; b = user defined during the model development stage; c = emergent model value.
