Zur mathematischen Simulation tierischer Wachstumskurven
On the mathematical simulation of growth curves of animals
Helgoländer Meeresuntersuchungen volume 35, pages 405–407 (1982)
Abstract
Advantages and limitations of different functions, employed to describe growth processes of animals, are briefly discussed. In this paper, a modification of a growth formula proposed by Johnson (1935) and used by the author is presented. Its parameters are described, but further testing is required to evaluate to which extent the altered function delivers better approximations to the growth data observed.
