• Evidence of three growth stanzas in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) across life stages and adaptation of the thermal-unit growth coefficient (2007, unknown): “It should be underlined also that the degree-day rule applies only to a certain range of water temperature, presumably from 5 to 16 °C for salmonids (Ursin, 1963; Ricker, 1979; Dwyer and Piper, 1987; Soderberg, 1992; Azevedo et al., 1998; Bureau et al., 2002; Jobling, 2003).”
• Weight ratios of the kelps, Alaria esculenta and Saccharina latissima, required to sequester dissolved inorganic nutrients and supply oxygen for Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, in Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture systems (2013, background): “It is also understood that TGC typically works well within the range of a specie's optimal growth temperatures, but may not generate accurate results outside of those ranges (Jobling, 2003).”
• The biological requirements for post-smolt Atlantic salmon in closed-containment systems (2011, background): “, 2001; Jobling, 2003) since TGC will be reduced near optimum and at supraoptimum temperatures (Jobling, 2003).”
• A systematic literature review of the major factors causing yield gap by affecting growth, feed conversion ratio and survival in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) (2020, methodology): “…rate, we calculated the thermal growth coefficient (TGC) as ffiffiffiffiffiffi Wt 3 p ffiffiffiffiffiffiW03 pð Þ= T tð Þ½ 1000 where Wt and Wo are final and initial weights, respectively, T is the average temperature during the growth period and t is the length of the growth period (Jobling, 2003).”
