3.1.3.6. von Bertalanffy’s growth equation
3.1.3.6. von Bertalanffy’s growth equation
Length based von Bertalanffy’s growth equation
Lt =$$L_\infty$$ [1 - exp (-K*(t – tₒ) ] .............................................(5)
$$L_\infty$$ = Asymptotic length
K = Growth coefficient or curvature parameter
to = Initial condition parameter or arbitrary origin of growth
(tₒ = should be read as ‘t’ Zero).
e = Base of natural logarithm
t = time
Weight based von Bertalanffy’s growth equation
W (t) =$$W_\infty$$ [1 – exp (-K*(t – tₒ)] 3......................................(6)
$$W_\infty$$= Asymptotic weight
K, tₒ and e and t are defined as above (Refer equation 5)
