mizer (version 2.5.3)

getGrowthCurves: Get growth curves giving weight as a function of age

Description

Get growth curves giving weight as a function of age

Usage

getGrowthCurves(object, species = NULL, max_age = 20, percentage = FALSE)

Value

An array (species x age) containing the weight in grams.

Arguments

object

MizerSim or MizerParams object. If given a MizerSim object, uses the growth rates at the final time of a simulation to calculate the size at age. If given a MizerParams object, uses the initial growth rates instead.

species

The species to be selected. Optional. By default all target species are selected. A vector of species names, or a numeric vector with the species indices, or a logical vector indicating for each species whether it is to be selected (TRUE) or not.

max_age

The age up to which to run the growth curve. Default is 20.

percentage

Boolean value. If TRUE, the size is given as a percentage of the maximal size.
