Data were used in Sibly, R.M.,  Baker, J., Grady, J.M., Luna, S.M., Kodric-Brown,  A., Venditti, C., Brown, J.H. 2015. Fundamental insights into ontogenetic growth from theory and fish. PNAS, 112, 13934-13939.

The data used give species/population values of the following parameters:-

K:       Bertalanffy growth coefficient; 
m inf:   Maximum body mass;
water temperatures: T_Kelvin is the temperature we used.
Some other descriptors from FishBase are also included. See FishBase for definitions of parameters and the units in which they are measured.
