TGC_calculate_final_weight: Calculate final body weight using TGC model

In dempsey-CMAR/tgc: Thermal Growth Coefficient Model for Aquaculture

Calculate final body weight using TGC model

Description

Calculate final body weight using TGC model

Usage

TGC_calculate_final_weight(dd_table, initial_weight, tgc)

Arguments

dd_table	Dataframe with degree-day data, as exported from count_degree_days. Must include columns n_degree_days.
initial_weight	A vector of initial weight(s) of the fish in kilograms.
tgc	A vector of thermal growth coefficient(s).

Details

Final weight is calculated from the thermal growth coefficient (TGC) model:

final_weight = (initial_weight^(1/3) + (TGC/1000)*degree_days)^3

where final_weight and initial_weight are in kilograms.

Final weight will be calculated for all combinations of initial_weight and tgc supplied in the arguments and each row of dd_table.

Value

Returns dd_table additional columns INITIAL_WEIGHT, TGC, and TGC_FINAL_WEIGHT.
