calc_numbers_at_age: Calculates the numbers of fish at age

In NOAA-EDAB/neusCatch: Multispecies length expansion of commercial catch

Calculates the numbers of fish at age

Description

Given the landings (expanded by length), the age-length key and the length-weight relationship, the number of fish at a given age is calculated

Usage

calc_numbers_at_age(expLandings, ageLenKeys, lengthWeightParams)

Arguments

expLandings	Tibble. Expanded landings by length (from expand_landings_to_lengths)
lengthWeightParams	List. alpha = intercept, betas = slope(s), var = residual variance used to formulate the mean (?see Notes section below)
ageLengthKeys	Tibble. Age Length Keys (from create_yr_semester_age_length_key

Value

A Tibble of expanded landings to represent weight of landings by length

YEAR	Year of landings
NEGEAR	3 digit gear code as defined in cfdbs.gear
TIME	Quarter/Half year of landings (The presence of this field depends on whether it was present in the landingsData
MARKET_CODE	Market code assigned to landed fish (The presence of this field depends on whether it was present in the landingsData
LENGTH	Length of sampled fish
NUMLEN	number of sampled for fish stated LENGTH
weight	expanded weight (mt) of all fish of given LENGTH in YEAR, NEGEAR etc..

Notes

The length weight relationship (see fit_length_weight) is fit assuming log normal errors (normal on the log scale). Therefore when exponentiating a correction for the estimate is required:

E(W) = \alpha L^\beta exp(\sigma^2 / 2)
