TY - GEN T1 - A modified logistic model to incorporate cyclical fluctuations in growth of Tor putitora (Hamilton) A1 - Kumar, S. LA - English YR - 2021 UL - http://discoverylib.upm.edu.my/discovery/Record/oai:http:--agris.upm.edu.my:0-18436 AB - Some growth models used in fisheries are inappropriate for use with species whose growth is seasonal due to the assumption that growth is invariant over time. A modified version of the logistic model that incorporates cyclical (or seasonal) fluctuations in growth gave significantly improved results when it was fitted to observations of lengthat-age from Tor putitora. The modified logistic model was obtained by introducing a sine wave function into the original model.
