The growth characteristics of the abalone Haliotis roei from Western Australia are described. Abalone grow rapidly to over 40 mm in their first year. In their second year, they reach 60 mm, the minimum size that can be legally taken by amateur fishermen. They are recruited to the commercial fishery at 70 mm during their third year. The parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth model were K = 0.67 year-1 and L∞ = 85.2 mm; however, differences occur between intertidal and subtidal habitats, with abalone of the subtidal population achieving faster growth rates and a larger maximum size. No significant differences in growth were detected between sexes.

Tag-recapture data were used to determine growth and movement of A. japonicum balloti. The von Bertalanffy growth model was found to be suitable for describing growth in the latter half of the size range for A. japonicum balloti, and estimated S∞ of scallops varied with year and area. A. japonicum balloti grows rapidly, being recruited to the commercial fishery at about 6 months of age in some cases. Recapture data indicated that A. japonicum balloti does not undergo long-distance displacements in its post-larval stage.

Observations at a single point in time of length-at-age (LAA) for a long-lived rockfish (Sebastes alutus) show that old fish are shorter than intermediate-aged fish. Fitting of a von Bertalanffy growth model to these data produces a systematic trend in the residual of observed versus calculated LAA. We examined how such LAA data can lead to erroneous conclusions about individual growth, and whether asymptotic growth can give rise to such data. We considered two hypotheses: (i) that a time trend in growth rate resulted in larger fish in more recent years and (ii) that there are multiple growth types, where growth and mortality rates are directly related. Using a general growth model that incorporated both (i) and (ii), we show that both hypotheses can generate data identical to those for the rockfish. A single set of LAA data is inadequate for describing individual growth; however, if sufficient data are available, model ambiguity can be resolved and reasonable parameter estimates obtained. Analysis of the rockfish data indicates that (ii) is more likely to explain the observations than (i). We show how fisheries on such species may preclude our understanding these biological relationships.

Abstract Growth was assessed during the first and second years following bone marrow transplantation (BMT) in 47 children treated by either busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (BU/CY) (n = 24) or cyclophosphamide plus fractionated total body irradiation (CY/TBI) (n = 23). Before transplant, the median height was only 0.2 SD below age- and sex- adjusted means (range, -2.5 to +3.0). Height was greater than 2.0 SD below normal in only three patients (6%). The pretransplant heights were comparable in the BU/CY and CY/TBI groups (-0.1 v -0.6 SD, P = .35). Following transplant, median 1- and 2-year heights were 0.7 and 0.9 SD below normal, respectively. Growth rates were 2.2 SD and 1.4 SD below normal during the first and second years, respectively. Growth rates were greater than 2.0 SD below normal in 24 of 47 (51%) at 1 year and in 12 of 31 (39%) at 2 years after transplant. Growth rates in patients treated with BU/CY were comparable to those treated with CY/TBI during both years: -2.5 versus -1.7 SD during the first year (P = .19, Wilcoxon), and -1.5 versus -1.1 SD during the second year (P = .61). Growth rates during the second year correlated with growth rates during the first year (r = .36, P = .046). Growth rates during the first year were lower in patients who had been given prior cranial irradiation, those who were near pubertal age at the time of transplant, and those who were transplanted for a disease other than acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). During the second year, poor rates of growth were associated only with the use of corticosteroids after transplant.

Linear Growth Model

Growth of adult chokka squid Loligo reynaudii d’Orbigny was modelled using mantle length and age data derived from samples collected over two years (2003 and 2004) from a single, large cohort of mature and spawning squid. A total of 588 statoliths were examined (310 males, 278 females) from individuals of 71–425 mm mantle length (ML). The maximum size of chokka squid was 425 mm ML for males and 263 mm ML for females. The Francis Growth Model and Linear Growth model were selected for further analysis from six models considered. Males and females attain similar ages, although mantle length-based daily growth rates ranged from 0.75 to 1.02 (0.88 quantile _50) mm/day for males and 0.32–0.45 (0.38 quantile _50) mm/day for females, explaining the sexual dimorphism apparent in the sizes of individuals of this species.

Red snapper (Lutjanus peru) fishery was analyzed from landings and catch records. Stock age structure was reconstructed after the parameter values of the von Bertalanffy growth model, the length-weight relationship, ages and the natural mortality coefficient through each of nine years of cateh records. The Pisat software package was applied to assess population parameters, whose estimates are, for the von Bertalanffy growth model, K = 0. 1 442 to 0.38; lo = -0.2; L = 87 cm; W = 9.4 Kg, and the natural mortality coefficient (M) afier several methods (0. 14 to 0.38). Cohort size was assessed by the virtual population analysis (VPA), estlmating population size in 5.2* 1 06 fish with a biomass of 8 454 tonnes. Current fishing mortality P, ranges from 0.06 to 1 . 1 3, depending upon the chosen M value; according to this, when the M value used is low, the results suggest that the stock is nnderexploited, and vice versa. The yield per recruit model applied suggests improvements to the management strategy. The model indicates recruit overfishing because very small fish are the main target (te

Von Bertalanffy Growth Model

<abstract><p>The purpose of this paper is to apply conditional Ulam stability, developed by Popa, Rașa, and Viorel in 2018, to the von Bertalanffy growth model $ \frac{dw}{dt} = aw^{\frac{2}{3}}-bw $, where $ w $ denotes mass and $ a &gt; 0 $ and $ b &gt; 0 $ are the coefficients of anabolism and catabolism, respectively. This study finds an Ulam constant and suggests that the constant is biologically meaningful. To explain the results, numerical simulations are performed.</p></abstract>
