For each species, returns the rate at which biomass is lost due to predation mortality.
Details
This is calculated as
$$M2B_i = \int_{w_0}^{w_{max}} \mu_{p.i}(w) N_i(w) w dw$$
where \(\mu_{p.i}(w)\) is the predation mortality rate of an individual
of species \(i\) and weight \(w\) (obtained with getPredMort
)
and \(N_i(w)\) is the number density of species i at weight w.
