General introduction<br />

Questioning asymptotic growth in <strong>the</strong> largest regular <strong>sea</strong> <strong>urchin</strong>,<br />

Strongylocentrotus franciscanus, Ebert & Russell (1993) introduced <strong>the</strong><br />

indeterminate growth <strong>model</strong> <strong>of</strong> Tanaka as a better representation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

continuous growth <strong>of</strong> large individuals. However, this species seems to be<br />

a special case, even inside <strong>the</strong> Strongilocentrotidae family (Lawrence et al,<br />

1995). The Tanaka <strong>model</strong> was not used much for o<strong>the</strong>r species. Lamare &<br />

Mladenov (2000) tested it on Evechinus chloroticus (Valenciennes), but<br />

concluded it is not <strong>the</strong> more appropriate one in this particular case.<br />

In an attempt to find a better <strong>model</strong> to fit echinoid growth data, various<br />

"exotic" curves were also tested. They were sometimes successful, such as<br />

in <strong>the</strong> works by Gage & Tyler (1985) that introduced <strong>the</strong> Preece & Baines<br />
