The standard model still could be applicable because the increase in skipped spawning occurred at younger ages (4-15), the logistic curves reached 100% around age 12 (close to age 15), and fish commonly reach ages >50.

Results of the LSDM performance with observed scores on individual attributes shows that the APCs recovered with LSDM match well the ICCs of individual items for operations A1 and A2 but for A3 A4 and A5 the APCs tends to be over the ICCs on all the ability levels; these results may be explained by the conjunctive nature of the model, moreover, the product of logistic curves is not logistic, for this reason this work presents a descriptive and exploratory explanation, more than a statistical comparison between curves.

In situations where there is little to gain from departures from standard and well-understood model specifications, my preference in modeling real-world phenomenon has always been to work with such specifications, such as the Gompertz and logistic curves.
