View source: R/allPotential.R

Description

This function calculates all (or a subset) of the Resource Potential indicators for j areas and i years. The user can choose whether the function returns the indicator dataframe to the global environment, exports the dataframe to a .csv file, or both. The user can also choose whether the function returns the raw indicator values, the standardized (z-score) values, or both.

allPotential(X, land, species.table, speciesinfo.table, resource.groups,
  minTL = 0, TE = 0.1, base.start, base.end, years, raw = TRUE,
  std = TRUE, glob.env = TRUE, export.path = NULL,
  export.id = NULL)

Arguments

X

A dataframe of fishery independent data derived from research vessel survey data or model output, with columns YEAR, ID, SPECIES, BIOMASS, and ABUNDANCE. YEAR indicates the year the observation was recorded, ID is an area code indicating where the observation was recorded, SPECIES is a numeric code indicating the species sampled, and BIOMASS/ABUNDANCE is the corresponding biomass/abundance (stratified and corrected for catchability as required).

land

A dataframe of commercial landings data with columns YEAR, ID, SPECIES and CATCH. YEAR indicates the year the landing was recorded, ID is an area code indicating where the landing was recorded, SPECIES is a numeric code indicating the species landed, and CATCH is the corresponding landed weight.

species.table

A table where the column names match the entries in resource.groups. Column entries are the species codes indicating the species from X included in each group. species.table may also include columns for other species groups; these will be ignored.

speciesinfo.table

A table with columns SPECIES and the corresponding TL_LAND (trophic level of landed species). Entries in the SPECIES column should be the unique values of species codes in land (or a subset thereof). Other columns will be ignored.

resource.groups

A vector indicating the species groups for which to calculate the resource potential. Each entry must be a character string matching the name of a column in species.table. If resource.groups = NULL, these indicators will not be calculated.

minTL

The minimum trophic level of species to include to calculate FiB. If minTL = NULL, FiB will not be calculated. Default is minTL = 0.

TE

Trophic efficiency, used to calculate FiB. Default is TE = 0.1, i.e., a trophic efficiency of 10%. If TE = NULL, FiB will not be calculated.

base.start

Year indicating the beginning of the baseline period for calculating FiB. The average landings and average mean trophic level of the landings over the baseline period are used as baseline values to calculate FiB. land must include data for the baseline period. If base.start = NULL, FiB will not be calculated.

base.end

Year indicating the end of the baseline period for calculating FiB. The average landings and average mean trophic level of the landings over the baseline period are used as baseline values to calculate FiB. land must include data for the baseline period. If base.end = NULL, FiB will not be calculated.

years

A vector of years for which to calculate indicators.

raw

A logical value. If raw = TRUE, the raw indicator values are returned by the function. If raw = FALSE, the raw indicator values are not returned. Default is raw = TRUE. Either raw or std must be TRUE.

std

A logical value. If std = TRUE, the standardized indicator values for each area ID are returned by the function. Indicators are standardized using z-scores, i.e., by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation (ignoring NA values). If std = FALSE, the standardized indicator values are not returned. Default is std = TRUE. Either raw or std must be TRUE.

glob.env

Logical value indicating whether to return output to global environment. Default is glob.env = TRUE.

export.path

File path indicating where to save a .csv file of calculated indicators (named potential_export.id.csv; see below). If export.file = NULL, the indicator dataframe will not be exported as a .csv file. Default is export.path = NULL.

export.id

Character string to modify the name of the .csv file (if export.path is specified), for example an area name or date of analysis. The exported .csv file is named potential_export.id.csv. Default is export.id = NULL.

Details

This function calculates the Resource Potential indicators: Abundance and Biomass of the community, Resource Potential of predefined species groups, and Fishing-in-Balance (FiB). If data are not available to calculate one or more of these indicators, a subset will be returned. See the help file for the individual functions for information on how each indicator is calculated.

Value

Returns a dataframe with columns ID, YEAR, and indicators corresponding to the arguments supplied to the function. Standardized indicators are noted with _s in the name.
