Functions of the four growth models (VBGM, GGM, SRGM, G-VBGM) used in this study.

Model	Function	Source
VBGM		von Bertalanffy (1938), Quinn and Deriso (1999)
GGM		Gompertz (1825), Quinn and Deriso (1999)
SRGM		Schnute and Richards (1990)
G-VBGM		Szalai et al. (2003)

Note: t₀ is the theoretical age at Lt = 0 (often negative, or zero); k is the growth coefficient; parameters g, r and δ are constants; parameters p, γ and ν are dimensionless parameters; Lt is the length at age t; and L_∞ is asymptotic length.
