Description
Summary:Rates of growth and the multiple factors affecting them are of primary concern to those involved with the production of food, both plant and animal, for human populations. Knowledge of critical factors influencing growth is of use in farming animals and plants because some of these factors can be directly controlled. This knowledge is also useful in dealing with crops growing in situations where most of the factors in the environment are at present outside the influence of man, including many commercial forms of marine fish.
