title: Convergence of the mean and variance of size for a stochastic population model.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to present convergence results for the mean and variance of fish size in a stochastic population model developed by Deriso and Parma. The proofs rely on the concavity property of the transformation of variance over successive generations.
