Casselman1990: Instantaneous growth rates for two calcified ageing...

In FSAdata: Data to Support Fish Stock Assessment ('FSA') Package

Instantaneous growth rates for two calcified ageing structures.

Description

Instantaneous growth rates (percent change per day) for body growth and two calcified ageing structures from age 1-4 female Northern Pike (Esox lucius) from Wickett Lake, Ontario.

Format

A data frame with 12 observations on the following 4 variables.

day

A numeric vector of days since the beginning of the study.

body

A numeric vector of instantaneous growth rates (percent change per day) for body growth.

cleithrum

A numeric vector of instantaneous growth rates (percent change per day) for cleithra.

scale

A numeric vector of instantaneous growth rates (percent change per day) for scales.
