Life Stage Survival table from the Atlantic salmon Dam Impact analysis model v67. Distributional parameters for year-specific number of eggs produced per female, egg-to-smolt survival rate, in-river mortality rate, and marine survival rate. These variables provide default descriptive statistics used to simulate life stage-specific vital rates within the run_one_gen function.
