Hypothetical lengths at seasonal ages. These data are useful for testing growth related functions (e.g., findGrowthStarts) as they were generated from known growth functions (e.g., von Bertalanffy) with some random error and are, thus, “as good as it gets” for testing.

Format

A data frame of 126 observations on the following 2 variables:

age

Ages with decimals representing a fraction of a year

tlS

Total length simulated from a the “Somers” parameterization of the von Bertalanffy growth function with Linf=450, K=0.3, t0=-0.5, C=0.9, and ts=0.1

Topic(s)

  • Growth

  • von Bertalanffy
