Growth and tissue composition. Data series minimum and maximum values, means and standard deviations, coefficient sizes, the model that fitted the data best, and probability that the data distribution is random (no systematic variation). The general regression equation is (nutrients given as % of w.wt. (Table 1)). Data in bold and bold-italics indicate significance of the coefficients: ; ; .
