Model code for Zooplankton Model of Size Spectrum (ZooMSS v1)

This repo holds the code for Zooplankton Model of Size Spectrum (ZooMSS v1) as published in Heneghan et al. 2016 (pdf attached).

The size-spectrum model consists of a size-spectrum comprised of three communities: phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish. The phytoplankton component covers the smallest size classes and is held constant as a background resource spectrum for zooplankton. Size-dependent processes of growth and mortality drive the zooplankton and fish components.
