This project aims to test and further develop a new theory for how animals grow. The new growth theory brings together the fields of physiology, ecology, and evolutionary biology, generating research publications, and training students. The proposed research is anticipated to provide a fundamentally new means for understanding how animals divide energy among growth and reproduction, paving the way for organismal allocation to these processes to be optimised by selective breeding or genetic manipulation, yielding potential benefits for aquaculture (enhanced growth) or re-introduction (enhanced reproduction).

该项目旨在测试和进一步发展动物如何生长的新理论。新的增长理论汇集了生理学，生态学和进化生物学领域，产生研究出版物，并培养学生。预计拟议的研究将为理解动物如何在生长和繁殖之间分配能量提供一种全新的方法，为通过选择性育种或遗传操作优化这些过程的生物分配铺平道路，为水产养殖（增强生长）或重新引入（增强繁殖）带来潜在的好处。
