COMMENT

Often called the "fish weight" equation von Bertalanffy's curve is based on ideas of surface area to weight by volume in mass populations. It is another kind of sigmoid population saturation besides Pearl's Sigmoid.

FORMULA

f[n]=(A+B/(f[n-1]+f[n-1))^(1/3))^3 a(n) =Flood[f[n]]

MATHEMATICA

Clear[f] f[0] = 0; f[1] = 1; f[n_] := f[n] = N[(5 - 4.37/(f[n - 1] + f[n - 2])^(1/3))^3] a = Table[Abs[Floor[f[n]]], {n, 0, 25}] ListPlot[a, PlotJoined -> True, PlotRange -> All]
