Table 1. List of models included in Fish Bioenergetics 4.0 (FB4). Bioenergetics models that are new to FB4 are indicated by an asterisk (*). † denotes new or revised versions of existing models found in previous versions of Fish Bioenergetics software. A = adult, J = juvenile, L = larvae.

Figure 2. Cumulative number of published bioenergetics models, 1974–2017, representing 70 fish species (some at multiple life stages) and three invertebrate species.

Figure 4. Example of temperature (top panel) and diet proportion (bottom panel) input data in FB4. The Input Files page allows users to quickly visualize their input data to ensure accuracy prior to performing a simulation. Note: Data are linearly interpolated for missing data points.
