Description

The k function is used to calculate the growth coefficient 'k' used in the von Bertanlanffy growth models.

Usage

1
k(L.max, L.asym, Time)

Arguments

L.max

numeric; maximum length observed across all samples

L.asym

numeric; asymptotic length

Time

numeric; estimated time to reach maximum length

Value

The value returned is the growth coefficient 'k' used in the von Bertanlanffy growth model

Author(s)

The function was written by Gary Truong with collaboration from Ben Walker and Anna Lewis from the University of New South Wales
