|
maindir |
A character scalar giving the directory where |
rdat |
A character scalar giving the name of the RData file in |
ageSp |
A numeric vector giving the species codes for species for which age-length keys should be used, default NULL. |
region |
A character vector, names of regions used in laying out sampling design. |
regArea |
A numeric vector, corresponding areas (in ha) of |
TSrange |
A numeric vector of length 2, the target strength range of interest, minimum and maximum in dB, default c(-60, -30). |
TSthresh |
A numeric scalar, the minimum number of binned targets required to incorporate the TS information from a given (interval by layer) cell. |
psi |
A numeric scalar, the transducer-specific two-way equivalent beam angle in steradians, default 0.007997566. |
soi |
A numeric vector, codes of fish species for which estimates will be generated, default c(106, 109, 203, 204). |
spInfo |
A data frame with five variables
|
sliceDef |
A list of at least two named sub-lists defining the slices into which observations will be classified. Each sub-list contains one or more named numeric vectors of length two, identifying the parameter (the name of the vector) and the range of values (see Details) that contribute to the slice definition, with one exception. For slicing by regions, the named vector is character (not numeric), is of length one or more (not necessarily two), and specifies all of the regions that contribute to the slice definition. The name of each sub-list is the name of the slice to be assigned. See Examples. |
short |
Logical scalar, indicating aspect of map area. If TRUE, the default, the mapped area is assumed to be wider (longitudinally) than tall. Used to better arrange multiple maps on a single page. |
descr |
A character scalar to be incorporated in the name of the saved output files, default "ACMT Estimates". |
The sigma for each acoustic cell is estimated as the mean of the linearized target strength (TS) weighted by the number of targets in each dB bin using the TS frequency distribution.
The number of scatterers per unit volume, Nv,
is estimated according to Sawada et al. (1993) (see estNv
).
So called "biased" sigmas where Nv > 0.1 are replaced
with mean "unbiased" sigmas from cells in the same layer
and (if possible) transect. Then, Nv is recalculated.
A rich text file (rtf) with a *.doc file extension (so that it will be
opened with Word by default) is saved to maindir
.
Seven different data frames are saved as objects in an Rdata
file and are written to csv files in maindir
:
Lakes
= lake-wide totals (in millions and t) and
means (in numbers and g per ha), with a row for each species group
and estimate type and columns for estimates, standard errors, and
relative standard errors.
Regions
= region means (in fish per ha and g per ha), with
a row for each region, species group, and estimate type and columns for
estimates and corresponding (surface) areas.
intmeans_nph
= interval means (in fish per ha), with a row
for each region and interval, a column for each species group, and
additional columns for region area, and the interval bottom depth,
latitude and longitude.
intmeans_gph
= interval means (in g per ha), similar to
intmeans_nph
.
intlaymeans_nph
= interval and layer means (in fish per ha),
with a row for each region, interval, and layer, a column for each
species group, and many additional columns.
intlaymeans_gph
= interval and layer means (in g per ha),
similar to intlaymeans_nph
.
svts5
= the result of merging the SV and TS data, with
several changes made: subsetted to valid regions, original and modified
sigma estimates of n1, nv, fish_ha, depth_botmid (bottom depth range),
and identity of slice, nearmt (nearest midwater trawl), region, and
region area.
The Rdata and csv files are named using the lake and the year.
