Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The generation time (G) for given population by completing the last column of the given Table 1.
Given:
An incomplete cohort life table is provided, from which the components given in column 5 is to be calculated.
Table 1: A life table of Australian sharpnose shark showing survivorship and fecundity.
Age (x) | Survivorship of females (lx) | Fecundity of female offspring (mx) | lx mx | x lx mx |
0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
1 | 0.32 | 1.98 | 0.63 | |
2 | 0.19 | 2.59 | 0.49 | |

Introduction:
The generation time of a cohort is considered as the average age of the individuals who have produced or are expected to produce offspring in a cohort. It can be calculated by the sum of (x lx mx) divided by the reproductive rate, R0 of the population.
