Table 2 Growth rate for tagged and control fish given as total length [TL] and weight [g] between the start of the experiment (day 0) and the intermediate measurement (day 28) as well as between the intermediate measurement (day 29) and the termination of the experiment (day 61)

From: Testing the effects of passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags on survival, growth, and tag retention of common nase (Chondrostoma nasus L.) and European barbel (Barbus barbus L.)
