Measuring Exponential Growth
- Enter the Initial Weight (grams) at the start of the cycle.
- Enter the Final Weight (grams) at the current sampling.
- Input the total Culture Days.
- View the Specific Growth Rate (SGR) in % per day.
Why use SGR?
SGR is widely used in aquaculture research because it accounts for the exponential nature of fish growth. Unlike ADG, SGR allows you to compare the growth performance of small fingerlings against much larger adult fish on a normalized percentage basis.
