Are the RNA:DNA ratio and dry-weight-at-length suitable growth proxies for brown shrimps (Crangon crangon)?

Growth rates are of fundamental interest for studying population dynamics of species when no age information is available. In these cases in situ growth proxies must be identified and validated, and here we tested whether RNA-DNA ratio (RD) and dry weight condition (DWC) can act as such proxies for...
