The program is designed for the computer simulation of population growth based on the age-stage, two-sex life table. The data file is prepared by TWOSEX-MSChart. If you want to use this program, you have to collect the life table data and analyze it using TWOSEX-MSChart. After that, you can get the simulation file (file no. 15). If you want to simulation the population growth of a predator and its predation potential, you have to collect both life table and predation rate based on the age-stage, two-sex life table. The predation rate must be analyzed by using CONSUME-MSChart. You have to learn how to link the life table and predation rate for this advanced simulation.
