Spatial Management and Assessment of Demersal Resources for
Trawl Fisheries
Description
A tool for assessing bio-economic feedback in
different management scenarios (D'Andrea et al., 2020
). 'smartR' (Spatial Management and Assessment
of demersal Resources for Trawl fisheries) combines information from different
tasks gathered within the European Data Collection Framework for the fishery
sector. The 'smartR' package implements the SMART model (Russo et al., 2014
), through the object-oriented
programming paradigm, and within this package it is possible to achieve the
complete set of analyses required by the SMART approach: from the editing and
formatting of the raw data; the construction and maintenance of coherent
datasets; the numerical and visual inspection of the generated metadata; to
the final simulation of management scenarios and the forecast of their
effects. The interaction between the user and the application could take
place through invocation of methods via the command line or could be entirely
committed to the graphical user interfaces (GUI).
