This data set is based on species in the North Sea (Blanchard et al.). It is a data.frame that contains all the necessary information to be used by the MizerParams() constructor. As there is no gear column, each species is assumed to be fished by a separate gear.

Usage

NS_species_params

Format

A data frame with 12 rows and 7 columns. Each row is a species.

species

Name of the species

w_max

Computational upper size boundary, defaulting to 1.5 * w_inf.

w_mat

Size at maturity

beta

Size preference ratio

sigma

Width of the size-preference

R_max

Maximum reproduction rate

k_vb

The von Bertalanffy k parameter

w_inf

The von Bertalanffy asymptotic size. This is the required maximum-size parameter.

Examples

params <- newMultispeciesParams(NS_species_params)
#>  No `a` column so using a = 0.01 in w = a l^b, with w in g and l in cm.
#>  No `b` column so using the isometric default b = 3 in w = a l^b.
#>  No h provided for some species, so using age at maturity to calculate it.
#>  Because you have n != p, the default value for `h` is not very good.
#>  Because the age at maturity is not known, I need to fall back to using
#> von Bertalanffy parameters, where available.
#>  Using z0 = z0pre * w_inf ^ z0exp for calculated z0 values.
#>  Using f0, h, lambda, kappa and the predation kernel to calculate gamma.
