In: SMITH, M. et al. (2004) The Elasmobranch Husbandry Manual: Captive Care of Sharks, Rays and their Relatives: 201-226. ISBN-13: 978-0-86727-152-3
Abstract:
Understanding the relationship between food intake and growth in elasmobranchsfacilitates the establishment of appropriate diets, health management protocols, andcollection plans. The Von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) is an appropriate method forestimating age and growth parameters. Comparisons between actual captive measurementsand mass predictions based on length-weight equations for wild sharks are useful whendetermining the condition (Wr) of aquarium-held sharks.
