Implementation of the model developed by Kobayashi et al., (1997). The model was setted to individual growth. 

Reproduction and effects of TPM on filtration rate (FR) were not included. [yellow variables]

The values of Chlorophyll, Salinity and Water Temperature are from Mondol et al., (2016). 

The growth follows a similar trend of that reported by Modol et al., (2016) but the wet weight tissue values are 3 times higher that the expected.

Implementation of the model presented by Cerco (2014), with a lot of adaptations. Model translates the individual growth. 

The food source was only considered as phytoplankton, and the forcing variables temperature, DO and salinity were not considered.
