init_sim: Initialise simulation

In pdolder/MixFishSim: Mixed Fishery fleet dynamics simulation tool

Initialise simulation

Description

init_sim sets up the general simulation parameters such as number of tows in a day, number of days fished in a week, how often species movement occurs and number of years for the simulation. It also creates some vector and matrix structures which are used in the init_pop and init_fleet functions.

Usage

init_sim(
  n_years = 1,
  n_tows_day = 4,
  n_days_wk_fished = 5,
  n_fleets = 1,
  n_vessels = 1,
  n_species = 1,
  nrows = nrows,
  ncols = ncols,
  move_freq = 2
)

Arguments

n_years	is an integar defining the number of years for the simulation
n_days_wk_fished	is an integar defining the number of days in a calendar week that are fished (e.g. 5 (out of 7))
n_fleets	is an integar defining the number of fleets in the simulation
n_vessels	is an integar defining the number of vessels in each fleet
n_species	is an integar defining the number of species in the simulation
nrows	Numeric integer with the y dimension of the field in nrow * ncol
ncols	Numeric integer with the x dimension of the field in nrow * ncol
move_freq	is an integar defining the duration (in weeks) between spatial movements for the populations
n_tow_day	is an integar defining the number of tows in a days fishing

Value

is a list of lists, detailing the indexs and data formats necessary for the simulation.

Examples

init_sim(n_years = 1, n_tows_day = 4, n_days_wk_fished = 5,
n_fleets = 1, n_vessels = 1, n_species = 1, move_freq = 2)
