Figure A4.18 Somatic growth in northern shrimp by sex, adjusted from Bergstrom (1992) for shrimp off West Greenland. The green vertical line marks year 2 of body growth and the horizontal purple line shows that length at year 2 is about 12 mm. Note that an individual shrimp will only be one sex at a time. The graph should thus be read for an individual shrimp as the male function up until the transition and the female function after the transition, which is here modeled to occur at a little over 2 years.
