-:!: For all but one of these runs, the mortality is very close to its upper bound.
+:!: For all but one of these runs, the mortality is very close to its upper bound of 0.5, which implies that only a fraction of exp(-0.5) = 0.6 of the individuals that escape catch survive to the next year.
 :!: As the number of cohorts increases, the catchabilities frequently become very low, resulting in enourmous N0 estimates and standard deviations.
