N2  - A modified version of the von Bertalanffy growth function (VBGF) is proposed in which a sine wave  modifies a standard version of the VBGF, enabling a smooth transition between rapid summer growth  and a variable period of zero growth (in length) during winter or during the dry season for aestivating fishes.  The key features of a nonlinear routine for fitting this new model are also presented, with emphasis on the  estimation of the period of zero growth. Application examples, to Salmo salar and Trisopterus esmarkii,  are presented.
