AquaticLifeHistory allows users to undertake fisheries life history analyses using contemporary approaches as simple R functions. These analyses currently include length-at-age modelling using a multi-model approach, estimating age-at-maturity and length-at-maturity. The main package functions are:
Estimate_Growth() performs length-at-age analyses using a von Bertalanffy growth model, Gompertz model and/or Logistic model.Estimate_Age_Maturity() Estimates age-at-maturity using either binomial maturity or proportion mature data and age.Estimate_Len_Maturity() Estimates age-at-maturity using either binomial maturity or proportion mature data and length.You can install the released version of AquaticLifeHistory from Github with:
library(AquaticLifeHistory)
# load example data set
data("growth_data")
# Run function with three default model candidates.
# Model parameters, AIC values are returned and a plot with bootstrapped CI's is printed to examine fits.
