Abstract:
The model simulates fish growth as affected by food quantity and composition, temperature and
dissolved oxygen concentration. Fish growth is computed on the basis of the biochemical reaction equations of the
intermediary metabolism. Temperature and dissolved oxygen are forcing functions in the current version. The
model is parameterized and calibrated for the nile tilapia (oreochromis niloticus). It is developed in the
framework of a PhD thesis on intensive fish production systems in the tropics and temperate regions.
Time interval of simulation: 0.025 day.
Basic spatial unit: Fishpond.
