#' @name barents

#' @description This data set gives the abundance of 30 fish species observed in 89 sites in the Barents sea.
#' For each site, 4 additional covariates are known. Subsample of the original datasets studied by Fossheim et al, 2006.
#'
#' @format A data frame with 6 variables:
#' * Abundance: A 30 fish species by 89 sites count matrix
#' * Offset: A 30 fish species by 89 samples offset matrix, measuring the sampling effort in each site
#' * 4 covariates for latitude, longitude, depth (in meters), temperature (in Celsius degrees).
