| Summary: | A Python package “cod-growth-model” that is used to study growth of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) under different thermal conditions. The growth model software includes growth model equations derived by Butzin and Pörtner (2016, Global Change Biology) and extended by Sokolova et al. (2021, ICES Journal of Marine Science). It is a mechanistic physiology-based approach that helps explore how environmental conditions effect growth performance of economically important fish species, Atlantic cod. The model mimics growth in laboratory on the one hand and in idealized real-world environment, on the other hand. The source code can be used as a practical teaching tool for studying temperature-dependent growth and testing research hypotheses by advanced undergraduate and graduate students. This software is aimed for the researchers and students from such fields as fish ecology and physiology. For example, it can be applied to test empirically derived growth parameters for Atlantic cod populations from different regions, and allows study growth on different spatial and temporal scales providing outputs that can be directly compared to field data. |
