The growth of a fish is often modeled by the von Bertalanffy growth model:
dw 2
=
/3 aw -bw dt
where w is the weight and a and b are constants. Solve the equation for w for the case a = 5lb113
, b = 2 day-1
, and w(O) = 0.5lb. Make sure that the
selected time span is just long enough so that the maximum weight is
approached. What is the maximum weight for this case? Make a plot of w as a
function of time. by using MATLAB
