Discussion
- In view of changes in shape during growth, radius length is converted to volumetric length
- In view of low somatic maintenance, pseudodata k_J = 0.002 1/d is replaced by pseudodata k = 0.3
Facts
- dioecious, which means that each individual is either male or female (Ref: Wiki)
- weight-length: weight (g): W = 0.0028 * (radius in mm) ^2.4743 = 0.8346 * (radius in cm) ^2.4743 (Ref: BosGuma2008)
