Research on the construction of growth models for dominant tree species in the Manas River Basin, Xinjiang [PDF]
PeerJResearch on forest growth models is not only crucial for regional ecological security and the optimal allocation of water and carbon resources but is also a key component in the study of carbon cycling in arid regions, holding scientific and practical ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Data on Atlantic horse mackerel Trachurus trachurus (Linneus, 1758) were collected along 8-year acoustic surveys (2011-2018). Age and growth variability of horse mackerel from the Central Mediterranean Sea were investigated within different, contrasting ...

Modernising fish and shark growth curves with Bayesian length-at-age models.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Growth modelling is a fundamental component of fisheries assessments but is often hindered by poor quality data from biased sampling. Several methods have attempted to account for sample bias in growth analyses.

Trends in Growth Modeling in Fisheries Science
Fishes, 2021 Growth models estimate life history parameters (e.g., growth rates and asymptotic size) that are used in the management of fisheries stocks. Traditionally in fisheries science, it was common to fit one growth model—the von Bertalanffy growth model—to ...

A comparison between traditional and measurement-error growth models for weakfish Cynoscion regalis [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Inferring growth for aquatic species is dependent upon accurate descriptions of age-length relationships, which may be degraded by measurement error in observed ages. Ageing error arises from biased and/or imprecise age determinations as a consequence of

The influence of sample distribution on growth model output for a highly-exploited marine fish, the Gulf Corvina (Cynoscion othonopterus) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Estimating the growth of fishes is critical to understanding their life history and conducting fisheries assessments. It is imperative to sufficiently sample each size and age class of fishes to construct models that accurately reflect biological growth ...
