Detailed SR Function Description
Percent daily relative growth rate of juvenile westslope cutthroat trout in relation to temperature during a 60-d experiment.
In this laboratory experiment, Rainbow trout were obtained as eggs from the Ennis National Fish Hatchery near Ennis, Montana.
Growth formula is as follows:
Growth = -0.7691 + 0.4514 * temp - 0.0173 * (temp)^2
Scaled from the original curve so that the highest upper limit value equals to 100%.
