  abstract = {{M}ethods of studying growth in {A}frica include the analysis of population structure ({P}etersen method), study of marks on bony parts, tagging, and the study of captive fish ... {T}he phenomenon of interrupted or slowed growth can be correlated with temperature fluctuation, hydrological regime, salinity gradient and/or reproduction, but in most cases, the prime cause is food related. ... {E}nvironmental factors may function merely as regulators. {A}mong the growth models employed, that of von {B}ertalanffy is the most useful, being relatively simple and well adjusted to observed data, although it does not take into account the first steps of growth (larval and juvenile stages). {C}ertain large species have a quasi-linear growth throughout their life (#{L}ates niloticus$, some #{C}larias species$, etc.)},
