title: 'fb4package: ''Fish Bioenergetics 4.0'' Model Implementation with High-Performance
  ''TMB'' Backend'
version: 2.0.0
abstract: An implementation of the 'Fish Bioenergetics 4.0' framework described in
  Deslauriers et al. (2017) <https://doi.org/10.1080/03632415.2017.1377558>. Provides
  automated parameter optimization, multi-prey diet modeling, and comprehensive energy
  budget simulations for fisheries research and aquaculture applications. An optional
  'TMB' (Template Model Builder) backend delivers 10-50x speedup in maximum likelihood
  estimation while maintaining full backward compatibility. Includes species-specific
  parameter databases and tools for modeling fish growth, consumption, and metabolism
  under varying environmental conditions.
