What is Limitations of the Thermal Growth Coefficient about?

The thermal growth coefficient (TGC) model of fish growth has limitations that require caution in its use. Specifically: 1) Growth does not steadily increase with temperature, but follows a bell-shaped curve, so a TGC at one temperature may not accurately predict growth at another temperature. 2) The TGC declines at the upper end of the temperature range. 3) The TGC assumes a constant length-weight relationship, but fish undergoing compensatory growth may not follow this.
