Data presented in the paper: Is summer growth reduction related to feeding guild? A test for a benthic juvenile flatfish sole (Solea solea) in a temperate coastal area, the western Wadden Sea

Growth performance was analyzed by combining information on individual growth based on otolith daily ring analysis with predictions of maximum growth (= under optimal food conditions) based on a Dynamic Energy Budget model. This research is a combination of collected field data, otolith microstructure analysis and the theoretical growth was calculated by means of four DEB model equations based on the Von Bertalanffy growth model. The enclosed data consist of the collected field data, calculated theoretical growth over time, and calculated realized growth (RG, dimensionless), defined as the ratio between observed size and DEB-predicted maximum size under optimal food conditions.

本研究通过整合基于耳石（otolith）日轮分析得到的个体生长信息，与基于动态能量收支模型（Dynamic Energy Budget model, DEB）得到的最优饵料条件下的最大生长预测结果，对个体生长表现开展分析。本研究整合了采集的野外实地数据、耳石微结构分析结果，并依托冯·贝塔朗菲生长模型（Von Bertalanffy growth model），通过4个DEB模型方程计算得到理论生长量。本次随附的数据集包含采集的野外实地数据、随时间变化的理论生长量计算结果，以及计算得到的实际生长量（realized growth, RG，无量纲）；该实际生长量被定义为观测个体尺寸与最优饵料条件下DEB模型预测的最大尺寸的比值。
