3.2.6. Estimation of growth parameters for crustaceans
Moulting is common in crustaceans. An individual crustacean usually will not obey von Bertalanffy’s model but to some stepwise curve. Each step indicates a moult. However, the crustaceans moult different times in its life cycle. Therefore, the average growth curve of a crustacean will be a smooth curve.
