Description

The program is designed for the computer simulation of population growth based on the age-stage, two-sex life table.  The data file is prepared by TWOSEX-MSChart.  If you want to use this program, you have to collect the life table data and analyze it using TWOSEX-MSChart.  After that, you can get the simulation file (file no. 15).  If you want to simulation the population growth of a predator and its predation potential, you have to collect both life table and predation rate based on the age-stage, two-sex life table. The predation rate must be analyzed by using CONSUME-MSChart.  You have to learn how to link the life table and predation rate for this advanced simulation.
