  1. unequal growth rate in different portions of the body of an organism that gives rise to the final shape.
  2. growth of a particular structure at a constantly greater rate than the whole.

The growth pattern observed from the study was lower than the ideal value of 3, implying that Brachydeuterus auritus from the coast of Ghana exhibits negative allometric growth. Negative allometric growth indicates the length growing faster than the weight [19].
