According to a study from Matsuyama, Japan, "The traditional growth models, such as the von Bertalanffy and logistic models, and their generalized forms have been frequently used for several decades in animal physiology, theoretical ecology, and applied ecology as experimental equations for describing finite animal growth. The coefficients of these models have, however, no meaning in relation to the structure of the model."
"In the present study, a simple energy balance model incorporating the reallocation of stored energy was developed, and its derivative growth equation is presented as follows: dB/dt = B (alpha - beta/1 + (gamma/B) where B is the body mass, ...
<= 1, the system shows indeterminate growth without an upper limit of body weight, and when beta/alpha>
