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
A dataframe with 400 rows and 8 columns
identifies a unique fishing event - i.e. both longline set and haul information
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
An ID used by Observers that is recorded with tagged fish releases
An ID used by Observers that is recorded for each set-haul
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"
A simulated normally distributed catch that represents retained catch per longline haul
A simulated normally distributed longline length
A simulated hypothetical Research block code that the data fall within
