Calculate fish weight from length
Description
Estimates individual fish weight from length using the length-weight relationship: W = a * L^b
Usage
calculate_fish_weight(length, a, b)
Arguments
length |
Numeric vector of fish lengths. |
a |
Coefficient of the length-weight relationship. |
b |
Exponent of the length-weight relationship. |
Details
The length-weight relationship follows the allometric equation W = a * L^b, where W is weight, L is length, and a and b are species-specific parameters.
Value
Numeric vector of estimated weights.
