bonito: Data from an age and growth study of the pacific bonito.
Description
Growth increment data derived from tagging experiments on Pacific bonito
(Sarda chiliensis) used to illustrate Francis's maximum likelihood
method estimation of growth and growth variability (1988).
Format
A data frame with 138 observations on the following 4 variables.
T1
- a numeric vector describing the release date
T2
- a numeric vector describing the recovery date
L1
- a numeric vector describing the length at release
in cenitmeters
L2
- a numeric vector describing the length at recapture
in centimeters

Details
Note that Francis (1988) has discarded several records from the original
dataset collected by Campbell et al. (1975).
