fishing.zone: Determine Fishing Zone

In TobieSurette/gulf.spatial: DFO Gulf Region Spatial Functions

Determine Fishing Zone

Description

Returns a fishing zone given a set of of coordinates.

Usage

## Default S3 method:
fishing.zone(longitude, latitude, species, ...)

Arguments

longitude	Numerical vector of longitudes in decimal degree format.
latitude	Numerical vector of latitudes in decimal degree format.
species	Numerical scalar containing a species code.
region	Character value specifying the geographic region. This argument is passed onto the fishing.zone.info function.

Methods (by class)

• fishing.zone(default): Returns a fishing zone for a set of coordinate points.

Examples

# Find the fishing.zone at a single point:
fishing.zone(-63.8, 47.05, species = 2526)

# Find strata values for multiple points:
lat <- c(48, 47, 46.5)
long <- c(-64, -61.5, -62)
fishing.zone(long, lat, species = 2526)

x <- read.scsset(2020)
fishing.zone(lon(x), lat(x), species = 2526) # Read snow crab set card for 2013 and determine fishing zone:
fishing.zone(lon(x), lat(x), species = 2550) # Lobster fishing areas of snow crab survey tows.
