    16 Enter the Production/Biomass (''P/B'') ratio for each group using consistent units, i.e., per year. The ''P/B'' ratio is equivalent to the instantaneous rate of total mortality (''Z'') used by fisheries biologists (Allen 1971). Entry of ''P/B'' ratios is optional.

    32 The ecotrophic efficiency (''EE'') is the fraction of the production that is used in the system, i.e. either passed up the food web, used for biomass accumulation, migration or export. Ecotrophic efficiency is difficult to measure directly. It varies between 0 and 1 and can be expected to approach 1 for groups with considerable predation pressure. The part of the production that is not included in the EE is often called ‘[wiki:EwEugOtherMortality other mortality]’. EE is dimensionless, and the entry of EE values is optional.

    3434The ecotrophic efficiency of a detritus group is defined as the ratio between the flow out of a detritus box, and the flow into the same box. ''EE'' for detritus cannot be entered, it is always calculated.
