A dataset that aims to simulate the catch data necessary for toothfish local biomass estimates that is stored in CCAMLR's cdb database

catch_data_sim_RB

Format

A dataframe with 400 rows and 8 columns

ID

identifies a unique fishing event - i.e. both longline set and haul information

Season

The simulated CCAMLR fishing season (i.e. December from the previous calendar year through to the end of November from the current calendar year) that the longline was set and hauled

CRUISE_ID

An ID used by Observers that is recorded with tagged fish releases

SET_ID

An ID used by Observers that is recorded for each set-haul

SPECIES_CODE

The three letter code used by CCAMLR to record a species. In the simulated data example this represent either Antarctic toothfish = "TOA" or Patagonian toothfish = "TOP"

CAUGHT_KG_TOTAL

A simulated normally distributed catch that represents retained catch per longline haul

LINE_LENGTH

A simulated normally distributed longline length

RESEARCH_BLOCK_CODE

A simulated hypothetical Research block code that the data fall within
