Theoretical explorations on the growth process of species to identify the inherent growth mechanics and minute differences among the growth profiles. Consequently, the species' growth process needs extensive laboratory iterations and optimizations to get the maximum yields. Hence, analysis of the growth trajectories through theoretical approaches makes the processes easy to optimize the high yielding and economic growth conditions for the hatcheries with minimum laboratory iterations. However, the iteration process imparts enormous costs to the entire culture protocol, and the hatchery people need to fulfill the market demands cost-effectively. So, we will try to figure out the optimal conditions for Artemia sp. culture based on experimental and modeling knowledge. 

Moreover, the growth curve is vital for understanding species development. Stochastic environments can push populations to extinction, emphasizing the need for conservation strategies. The second and third chapters address negative density-dependent phenomena, incorporating stochasticity through growth rate and carrying capacity. Global population dynamics data highlight species on the brink of extinction due to habitat changes, leading to non-monotonic fitness profiles. The fourth chapter estimates growth during species adaptation, addressing mate limitation and overexploitation causing positive density dependence at low population sizes. The fifth chapter provides sustainability and conservation guidelines for species experiencing the genetic Allee effect due to environmental disturbances.
