This application estimates growth and mortality rates from size frequency and/or growth increment data collected for a species undergoing discrete growth by moulting and whose young recruit into the sampled population as instars.

A Draft Manuscript is in preparation that introduces this instar growth model.

Growth information can be gleaned from growth increment and growth increment variance data, as well as from the progression of instar means and variances from size frequencies of instar sizes.
