Data - Growth Rates (438 words) |
 | Rates of change from one period to the next are calculated as proportional changes from the earlier period. |
 | The least-squares growth rate, r, is estimated by fitting a linear regression trend line to the logarithmic annual values of the variable in the relevant period. |
 | The geometric growth rate is applicable to compound growth over discrete periods, such as the payment and reinvestment of interest or dividends. |
| Fish Growth Enhanced By Climate Change (966 words) |
 | Changes in growth rates in some coastal and long-lived deep-ocean fish species in the south west Pacific are consistent with shifts in wind systems and water temperatures, according to new Australian research published in the United States this week. |
 | Growth rates of a coastal species, juvenile morwong, in the 1990s were 28.5 per cent faster than at the beginning of the period under assessment in the mid-1950s. |
 | Growth rates of the juveniles of the deep-water species all began decreasing well before the onset of commercial fishing. |
