The herbivore growth rate is a product of the herbivore stock and the fractional
herbivore growth rate, FCN HERB GROW (Figure 11.4). To increase realism of the
model, we make FCN HERB GROW a function of the algae density in the previous
time period. This is done by producing an additional stock called ALGAE DELAY.
In general, it makes sense to represent herbivore behavior in this way. Herbivore
gestation time reflects the origin of this lagged behavior.
