“…A large number of papers in recent years (Baer, Schultz, Traulsen & Krieter, 2011;Dumas & France, 2008;Dumas, France & Bureau, 2007, 2010Libralato & Solidoro, 2008;Mayer, Estruch, Blasco & Jover, 2008;Mayer, Estruch, Mart ı & Jover, 2009;Moses et al, 2008;Seginer & Halachmi, 2008) aim to describe and predict the growth of fish with different objectives. Almost all of them have in common that only the dynamic of the average value of the time-dependent weight is described by means of simple or multiple regression models, but weight dispersion is considered by few authors; for example, Mayer et al (2009) in gilthead sea bream with quantile regression growth models, Hurtado-Herrera, Dominguez-May and , in tilapia and Araneda et al (2013) in white shrimp using characteristic growth curves for different fish sizes.…”
