Abstract
In this paper we discuss a general methodology for estimating the distribution of individual growth rates in a size-structured population using aggregate population data. The method, for which rigorous theoretical formulations have been developed, is presented in the context of an inverse problem methodology and its use is illustrated with application to mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis, populations in rice fields.
