Parameter estimates for the 3-parameter Gompertz growth model fitted to mantle weight at age, and instantaneous relative growth rate for backed calculated hatched Octopus tetricus from north-eastern Tasmania, Australia collected during 2011.

= inflection point parameter in mantle weight (age) (g); = shape parameter in mantle weight (age) (g); = rate coefficient parameter in mantle weight (age) (day−1); = instantaneous relative growth rate (day−1); c = cool; w = warm; f = females; m = males. Asymptotic standard errors indicated in parenthesis. Significance for estimated parameters P
