Package 'fishdata'

Title: A Small Collection of Fish Population Datasets
Description: A collection of four datasets based around the population dynamics of migratory fish. Datasets contain both basic size information on a per fish basis, as well as otolith data that contains a per day record of fish growth history. All data in this package was collected by the author, from 2015-2016, in the Wellington region of New Zealand.

Growth data of adult fish

Description

A dataset containing daily age and growth data for adult Galaxis maculatus.

Usage

adult_growth

Format

A dataset containing 16795 rows and 4 variables

fish_code

Foreign key, matches to 'adults'. Identifies the fish being measured.

period

a count of each otolith increment. Counts a day in the fishes life

position

the distance of the increment from the centre of the otolith

distance

the distance of the increment from the previous increment

Examples

data(adult_growth)
