initialize_population: Initialize Population

In peterkuriyama/hlsimulator_old: Simulate Hook and Line Survey

Description

This function initializes the spatial distribution of the fish population

Usage

initialize_population(numrow, numcol, nfish = 100, seed = 300, distribute,
  maxfish = 10, area = "upperleft", percent = 0.1, ...)

Arguments

numrow	Number of rows in matrix
numcol	Number of columns in matrix
nfish	Number of fish to allocate among matrix
seed	Set seed if distribute == random, defaults to 300
distribute	Specify fish distribution to be 'uniform', 'patchy', or 'area' specific
maxfish	Maximum number of fish that can be sampled at a time
area	Specify area to distribute fish, options are 'upperleft', 'upperright', 'lowerleft', 'lowerright',#' 'upperhalf', 'lowerhalf', 'righthalf', 'lefthalf' Only necessary if distribute == 'area'
percent	percentage of area to sample. Only necessary if distribute == 'patchy'

Examples

Uniformly distribute fish
initialize_population(numrow = 10, numcol = 10, nfish = 1000, distribute = 'uniform')

Distribute fish in upper right quadrant only
initialize_population(numrow = 10, numcol = 10, nfish = 1000, distribute = 'area',
                            area = 'upperright')

Distribute fish in upper half
initialize_population(numrow = 10, numcol = 10, nfish = 1000, distribute = 'area',
                            area = 'upperhalf')

Patchily distribute fish
initialize_population(numrow = 10, numcol = 10, nfish = 100, distribute = 'patchy',
  percent = .2)
