Table B1
Initial and optimized parameters for the von Bertalanffy growth model applied to jumbo flying squid Dosidicus gigas in Peruvian waters.
| Females | Males | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter | Initial | Optimized | Initial | Optimized |
| L∞ (cm) | 100 | 53687092200 | 95 | 600194 |
| k | 0.1 | 282622 | 0.29 | 53687091 |
| t0 | 9 | −4250976868 | 10 | −8462631 |
L∞ is average maximum mantle length reached by older individuals; k represents the growth coefficient; t0 parameter is the theoretical age of the squid at zero size under the assumption that the von Bertalanffy (1938) growth curve describes the growth accurately right down to zero length. Even if this unlikely assumption is true, squid will be born with some positive length, so t0 will usually be negative.
