Fig. 5. Prediction of growth in weight per day depending on the number of parasites per liver weight (gram) with confidence intervals for a model cod with a GSI of 5 and a starting weight of 0.5 kg at different levels of start condition (medium condition is represented by Fulton's K 0.8, below 0.8 is considered low condition and>1 is considered high (Marteinsdottir and Begg 2002)). Below zero on the y-axis represents no growth. Dots represents observations.
