popgrowth

Description

This table contains information on growth, natural mortality and length at first maturity, which serve as inputs to many fish stock assessment models. The data can also be used to generate empirical relationships between growth parameters or natural mortality estimates, and their correlates (e.g., body shape, temperature, etc.), a line of research that is useful both for stock assessment and for increasing understanding of the evolution of life-history strategies

Usage

popgrowth(
  species_list = NULL,
  fields = NULL,
  server = c("fishbase", "sealifebase"),
  version = "latest",
  db = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

species_list	A vector of scientific names (each element as "genus species"). If empty, a table for all fish will be returned.
fields	subset to these columns. (recommend to omit this and handle manually)
server	Either "fishbase" or "sealifebase".
version	a version string for the database. See available_releases() for details.
db	database connection, now deprecated.
...	additional arguments, currently ignored

Value

a table of population growth information by species; see details
