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.

Modelling Approach

In this paper, the well-known von Bertalanffy growth (VBG) model for estimating age-length relationship in fisheries is considered. It is emphasised that nonlinear estimation procedures should be adopted for fitting the von Bertalanffy nonlinear statistical (VBNS) model rather than the age-old Ford-Walford plot. Some limitations of employing VBNS modelling approach are highlighted. Employment of stochastic differential equation (SDE) approach, which does not suffer from these limitations, is advocated for fitting the VBG model. The methodology for fitting the von Bertalanffy SDE (VBSDE) model is described. Relevant computer code for fitting this model is written in SAS package and the same is included as an Appendix. Finally, as an illustration, superiority of VBSDE model over VBNS model for fitting and forecasting purposes is shown for rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) age-length data.

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

<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>

Von Bertalanffy Growth Model

The well-known von Bertalanffy growth model for describing age-length relationship is formulated in a randomly fluctuating environment. The fluctuations in the system are assumed to be described by a Gaussian white noise stochastic process. The resulting model, in terms of a stochastic differential equation, is solved analytically. It is shown that the probability density function of length of a fish is a Gaussian stochastic process. Finally, as an illustration, the methodology is applied to a set of pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata (Gould)) data.
