| | 3 | The ''Mortalities'' node in the ''Navigator window'' contains two forms that summarise the sources of mortality in the model. |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | The [wiki:EwEugMortalityCoefficients Mortality coefficients] form breaks down mortality for each group in the model into its component parts (''P/B, F'', predation mortality, biomass accumulation, net migration and ''EE''). |
| | 6 | |
| | 7 | The [wiki:EwEugPredationMortality Predation mortality] form further breaks down the predation mortality for each prey group by showing the predation mortality rate caused by each of its predators. |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | These two forms are arguably the most important reference for the user during the model-balancing process, as they can be used to indicate which mortality components are most likely to be causing problems. |
