Lorenzen natural mortality relationship estimate M as a function of weight. M=a*wt^b;

# S4 method for FLQuant,FLPar
lorenzen(wt, params, ...)

Arguments

wt

mass at which M is to be predicted

params

an FLPar with two values; i.e. a equal to M at unit mass and b a power term; defaults are a=0.3 and b=-0.288

...

any other arguments
