Description
Supplement1_WinBUGS_code.R – This R code specifies several different models of the bycatch rate for leatherback turtles and humpback whales in the California drift gillnet fishery. The code uses packages R2WinBUGS and Coda within R to communicate with the WinBUGS program and generate posterior distributions for the model parameters. The code includes the raw data on observed fishing sets and bycatch events (takes) of these species for 1990-2009 from the fisheries observer program administered by NOAA Fisheries. Therefore, other users can run the section of code for each model and species and reproduce our model estimation results.

数据集说明
Supplement1_WinBUGS_code.R——该R代码针对加州流刺网渔业中的棱皮龟与座头鲸兼捕率构建了多种不同模型。代码依托R环境中的R2WinBUGS与Coda包，实现与WinBUGS程序的交互，并为模型参数生成后验分布。代码包含由美国国家海洋和大气管理局渔业局（NOAA Fisheries）管理的渔业观察员项目所提供的1990-2009年间的观测捕捞作业记录与上述物种的兼捕事件（捕获量）原始数据。因此，其他用户可运行针对各模型与物种的代码片段，复现本研究的模型估计结果。
