species: scientific name.
common_name: common name.
lh: named list or vector of life-history parameters: linf, k, t0 (von Bertalanffy, cm and years), a, b (W = aL^b, g and cm), lm (length at 50% maturity, cm), tm (age at 50% maturity), tmax (maximum age, also the plus group), M (natural mortality), s (steepness), sigR (recruitment SD) and rho (recruitment autocorrelation, used when build_om(ar1 = TRUE)).
msy: target MSY (t) used to scale the stock.
sel: named list of selectivity() objects, one per fleet.
relq: named numeric vector of relative catchability by fleet: apical F of fleet f is relq[f] x Fmsy x effort[f].
productivity: optional label (e.g. "High").
id: file-safe identifier; default from species.
x: a floss_species.
fishery: optional floss_fishery: checks that the species has selectivity and catchability for every fleet.

a list of class floss_species.
