Description Details References
artiFISHal is a pelagic fish community simulator, which can be used to create artificial lakes and populate them with known numbers of fish (identified in species-size groups) to mimic pelagic fish communities. artiFISHal can then be used to sample these fish with virtual acoustic and midwater trawl surveys.
An example of how to use the functions in artiFISHal is given in this
vignette

Use SampFish
to sample the fish population with virtual
acoustic and midwater trawl surveys.
Yule et al. (2013) used artiFISHal to evaluate several different approaches for estimating the biomass of pelagic fish species in the Great Lakes.
