Admitting ageing error when fitting growth curves: an example using the von Bertalanffy growth function with random effects

Abstract: A way to explicitly incorporate ageing error into the estimation of von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) parameters using a random effects (RE) modeling framework is presented. This RE framework also accounts for the effects of selectivity on growth curve estimation by characterizing the distribution of true ages derived from multiple age reads using either an exponential or gamma distribution. Simulation testing across four life histories is used to compare the RE approach with standard nonlinear (SNL) appr… Show more

“…3. There was no apparent systematic ageing bias or high random ageing imprecision, and all ages (both single and double reads) were therefore used to estimate growth parameters and incorporate ageing error via a random effects model (Cope & Punt 2007). Von Bertalanffy growth curves fitted to female and male splitnose rockfish size-at-age data for each biogeographic area are shown in The results of the linear regression model selection evaluating 6 hypotheses regarding latitudinal variability of von Bertalanffy growth parameters L ∞ and k by gender are shown in Fig.…”

“…The von Bertalanffy growth function was fitted using a random effects framework, described by Cope & Punt (2007), a method that allows explicit incorporation of ageing error from multiple age reads when estimating von Bertalanffy growth parameters. Growth models were developed for each of the 5 biogeographic areas for females and males separately to account for sexual dimorphism in growth, and mean and asymptotic standard deviations for each growth parameter by gender and biogeographic area were obtained.…”

“…The models were estimated using R 2.10.1 (SVB, nls routine) and ADMB (CVVB, Cope & Punt, 2007). Growth parameters were also estimated separately for males and females with the assumption of constant variance (Claro et al, 1999).…”
