Abstract

When studying the growth of tropical fishes and invertebrates, the question of validation of growth parameters estimates often arises, due to the lact of reliability of some of the methods used in obtaining such estimates. One possible approach is the comparative approach, which has the additional advantage of allowing, in certain cases, for inferences on the growth of the fish or invertebrates of a given stock, given the growth characteristics of closely related animals.
