Stock-Catch-Status Plot or Catch by Stock Status Graph (Jayasankar et al. (2021))

Description

This function provides stock status plots to see the typical transition from developing through fully exploited to over exploited for each resources as per the criteria used by Jayasankar et al (2021) to interpret the status of fishery resource.

Usage

SSplots_EPI(data,lower.lt,upper.lt, tsplots, MA)

Arguments

data

dataset

lower.lt

lower limit

upper.lt

upper limit

tsplots

time series plot

MA

moving average

Details

**Status of fishery** ⁠ ⁠ **Criterion Applied**

Developing: ⁠ ⁠ Year of landings < year of max landings AND landings < 20 percent of max landings

Fully Exploited:⁠ ⁠ Year of landings is between 20-80 percent of max landings

Over Exploited:⁠ ⁠ Year of landings > year of maximum landings AND landings < 20 percent of
⁠ ⁠ maximum landings OR landings > 80 percent of maximum landings

Note

Note1: tsplots=TRUE for generating the time series plots for each resources. In that case it is advisable to set a working directory and number of graphs generated will be equal to the number of resources

Note2: MA=TRUE for using the running average of order 3 (a three year running average was used to smooth the curve).
