I thought the question was about the size of fish.
Will they stop to grow after a definend age or will they get bigger and
bigger while getting older and older.
Think about the catfish sagas in some american angler lakes.
:"And there ist this fifty feet long catfish whish lives since hundred and
fifty years at the ground of lake xxx..."
Iam not an expert in fisheries, but as an biology student i would´nt believe
in indefinetly growing vetebrates.
