Obtain von Bertalanffy growth increments

Usage

get_growth_increment_vb(
  midpoint = seq(31, 91, 2),
  linf = 120,
  k = 0.1,
  gcv = 0.5,
  gobs = 1,
  gdd = 0,
  gmin = 0.01,
  biomass = 1,
  tau = 1
)

Arguments

midpoint

a numeric vector of length bin midpoints (mm).

linf

the von Bertalanffy asymptotic length parameter \(L_{\infty}\) (mm).

k

the von Bertalanffy growth rate parameter \(K\) (per year).

gcv

the process error parameter \(G_{CV}\) as a coefficient of variation.

gobs

the observation error parameter \(G_{obs}\) (mm).

gdd

the density-dependence parameter affecting growth.

gmin

the minimum standard deviation of growth increment (mm).

biomass

the biomass used for density-dependent growth calculations.

tau

the time at liberty (years).

Value

a list containing a vector of growth increments and a vector of the standard deviation for each increment.
