Evaluating the most suitable nonlinear growth model for turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) in aquaculture 2 (weight application): Multi‐criteria model selection and growth prediction

Abstract: Seeking the most suitable model to describe the growth of turbot, we analysed growth data of two different turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) strains reared communally in a recirculating aquaculture system. We fitted 10 different nonlinear growth models to individual weight gain data (n = 2,010) during the grow‐out phase. Analyses were carried out for each strain, for sexes within strains and for a pooled data set containing both strains and sexes. To assess the model performance, three different criteria are used.… Show more

“…In order to be conclusive about which of the projections best fits the catfish growth data for a longer period, it is necessary to extend the experiment to a longer period. In this regard, we agree with Lugert et al (2019), who explicated that assuming a single suitable a priori model, in this case for C. gariepinus , is unlikely.…”

“…Although growth is a complex biological process, mathematical functions represent it empirically in a very precise way in terms of organism increases in size or weight gain over time, simply by relating these changes over time. Since there are a variety of models to describe growth, the best methodological route to select one of them is to compare their performance with the observed data and select the one with the best fit (Lugert et al, 2019). These models describe growth, and impreciseness can result in significant changes in the expected outcomes of the aquaculture systems.…”
