Atlantic cod growth model: Open source Python package for numerical growth experiments

Year: 2025

Type: software-paper

Abstract: In this article we introduce an open source tool that is used to study growth of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) , an economically important fish species, in different temperature environments. It is a mechanistic physiology-based growth model that simulates growth in controlled laboratory experiments as well as in an open sea environment. The model can be used by universities, industrial, and research institutes as a tool for testing research hypotheses, and studying temperature-dependent growth in fishes.
