plotGrowthCurves: Plot growth curves giving weight as a function of age

Description

When the growth curve for only a single species is plotted, horizontal lines are included that indicate the maturity size and the maximum size for that species. If furthermore the species parameters contain the variables a and b for length to weight conversion and the von Bertalanffy parameter k_vb (and optionally t0), then the von Bertalanffy growth curve is superimposed in black.

Usage

plotGrowthCurves(
  object,
  species,
  max_age = 20,
  percentage = FALSE,
  highlight = NULL
)
plotlyGrowthCurves(
  object,
  species,
  max_age = 20,
  percentage = FALSE,
  highlight = NULL
)

Arguments

object

MizerSim or MizerParams object. If given a '>MizerSim object, uses the growth rates at the final time of a simulation to calculate the size at age. If given a '>MizerParams object, uses the initial growth rates instead.

species

Name or vector of names of the species to be included. By default all species are included.

max_age

The age up to which to run the growth curve. Default is 20.

percentage

Boolean value. If TRUE, the size is given as a percentage of the maximal size.

highlight

Name or vector of names of the species to be highlighted.

Value

A plot

Examples

# NOT RUN {
params <- suppressMessages(newMultispeciesParams(NS_species_params_gears, inter))
sim <- project(params, effort=1, t_max=20, t_save = 2, progress_bar = FALSE)
plotGrowthCurves(sim, percentage = TRUE)
plotGrowthCurves(sim, species = "Cod", max_age = 24)
# }
