Stock Status Plots (SSPs)
Description
Pauly et al. (2008) created (and coined the name) 'Stock Status Plots' for a UNEP compendium on Large Marine Ecosystems(LMEs, Sherman and Hempel (2009)). Stock status plots are bivariate graphs summarizing the status (e.g., developing, fully exploited, overexploited, etc.), through time, of the multispecies fisheries of a fished area or ecosystem. This package contains three functions to generate stock status plots viz., SSplots_pauly() (as per the criteria proposed by Pauly et al.,2008), SSplots_kleisner() (as per the criteria proposed by Kleisner and Pauly (2011) and Kleisner et al. (2013) )and SSplots_EPI() (as per the criteria proposed by Jayasankar et al.,2021 ).
