European Perch

Mooij et al. (1999) examined length-at-age data of European Perch (Perca fluviatilis) from Lake Tjeukemeer (The Netherlands) to identify possible sexual dimorphism in growth trajectories. Their data consisted of fork length (FL; cm), ages (yrs) from otoliths, and sex from 69 fish and are recorded in EuroPerchTJ.csv (data, meta).
