John,
Don't exactly know what you're looking for, but you should check
out the so-called "wisconsin model" for fish growth information. The
manual "Fish Bioenergetics Model 2" by Steve Hewett and Barry Johnson
does a good job of summarizing current modeling on fish growth issues.
The publication is put out by Wisconsin Sea Grant and to get a copy for a
nominal fee (< $20) you can contact them. The phone number in the issue
that I have is 608/263-3259. Address: UW Sea Grant Communications
Office 1800 Univ. Ave. Madison WI 53705-4094.
cheers,
Jeff
