Introduction to DEB theory & applications in fishery sciences Bas Kooijman Dept theoretical biology Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Bas@bio.vu.nl http://www.bio.vu.nl/thb/ • Contents: • What is DEB theory? • Evolution & homeostasis • Standard model & calorimetry • Product formation • Allocation • Unexpected links • Social behaviour • Reconstruction • Body size scaling Trondheim, 2007/11/01
Dynamic Energy Budget theory for metabolic organization • consists of a set of consistent and coherent assumptions • uses framework of general systems theory • links levels of organization • scales in space and time: scale separation • quantitative; first principles only • equivalent of theoretical physics • interplay between biology, mathematics, • physics, chemistry, earth system sciences • fundamental to biology; many practical applications
Research strategy 1)use general physical-chemical principles to develop an educated quantitative expectation for the eco-physiological behaviour of a generalized species 2) estimate parameters for any specific case compare the values with expectations from scaling relationships deviations reveal specific evolutionary adaptations 3) study deviations from model expectations learn about the physical-chemical details that matter in this case but had to be ignored because they not always apply Deviations from a detailed generalized expectation provide access to species-specific (or case-specific) modifications
DEB theory is axiomatic, based on mechanisms not meant to glue empirical models Since many empirical models turn out to be special cases of DEB theory the data behind these models support DEB theory This makes DEB theory very well tested against data DEB theory reveals when to expect deviations from these empirical models Empirical special cases of DEB
Individual Ecosystem • population dynamics is derived from • properties of individuals + interactions between them • evolution according to Darwin: • variation between individuals + selection • material and energy balances: • most easy for individuals • individuals are the survival machines of life

defecation feeding food faeces assimilation reserve somatic maintenance maturity maintenance 1- maturation reproduction growth maturity offspring structure Standard DEB model Definition of standard model: Isomorph with 1 reserve & 1 structure feeds on 1 type of food has 3 life stages (embryo, juvenile, adult) • Extensions of standard model: • more types of • food and food qualities • reserve (autotrophs) • structure (organs, plants) • changes in morphology • different number of life stages
assimilation: substrate reserve + products linked to surface area dissipation: reserve products somatic maintenance: linked to surface area & structural volume maturity maintenance: linked to maturity maturation or reproduction overheads growth: reserve structure + products Product formation = A assimilation + B dissipation + C growth Examples: heat, CO2, H2O, O2, NH3 Indirect calorimetry: heat = D O2-flux + E CO2-flux + F NH3-flux Three basic fluxes
Product Formation According to Dynamic Energy Budget theory: Product formation rate = wA. Assimilation rate + wM. Maintenance rate + wG .

Organ size & function Kidney removes N-waste from body At constant food availability JN = aL2 + bL3 Strict isomorphy: kidney size L3 If kidney function kidney size: work load reduces with size If kidney function L2 + cL3 for length L of kidney or body work load can be constant for appropriate weight coefficients This translates into a morphological design constraint for kidneys
Initial amount of reserve Initial amount of reserve E0 follows from • initial structural volume is negligibly small • initial maturity is negligibly small • maturity at birth is given • reserve density at birth equals that of mother at egg formation Accounts for • maturity maintenance costs • somatic maintenance costs • cost for structure • allocation fraction to somatic maintenance + growth Mean reproduction rate (number of offspring per time): R = (1-R) JER/E0 Reproduction buffer: buffer handling rules; clutch size

Not age, but size: :These gouramis are from the same nest, they have the same age and lived in the same tankSocial interaction during feeding caused the huge size differenceAge-based models for growth are bound to fail; growth depends on food intake Trichopsis vittatus
Rules for feeding R1 a new food particle appears at a random site within the cube at the moment one of the resident particles disappears. The particle stays on this site till it disappears; the particle density X remains constant. R2 a food particle disappears at a constant probability rate, or because it is eaten by the individual(s). R3 the individual of length L travels in a straight line to the nearest visible food particle at speed X2/3 L2, eats the particle upon arrival and waits at this site for a time th = {JXm}-1 L-2. Direction changes if the aimed food particle disappears or a nearer new one appears. Speed changes because of changes in length. R4 If an individual of length L feeds: scaled reserve density jumps: e e + (LX/ L)3 Change of scaled reserve density e: d/dt e = - e {JXm} LX3/ L; Change of length L: 3 d/dt L = ({JXm} LX3 e - L kM g) (e + g)-1 At time t = 0: length L = Lb,; reserve density e = f. R5 a food particle becomes invisible for an individual of length L1, if an individual of length L1 is within a distance Ls (L2/ L1)2 from the food particle, irrespective of being aimed at.

Otolith growth & opacity • standard DEB model: otolith is a product • otolith growth has contributions from • growth & dissipation • (= maintenance + maturation + reprod overheads) • opacity relative contribution from growth • DEB theory allows reconstruction • of functional response from opacity data • as long as reserve supports growth • Reconstruction is robust for deviations from • correct temperature trajectory Laure Pecquerie 2007: reading the otolith
