Size-based, spatially explicit, stochastic demographic model for green abalone

<p>[2017-08-28]: The metadata for this dataset page is in progress.</p>

<p>R code and associated data for&nbsp;a&nbsp;size-based, spatially explicit, stochastic demographic model to explore how different spatial configurations of marine reserve (MR) networks can affect the abundance&nbsp;and commercial yield of the green abalone (Haliotis&nbsp;fulgens), taking as a reference case the abalone fishery of Isla Natividad in Baja California Sur (Mexico).</p>

<p>The model code is available in as .zip file: <a href=\"http://dmoserv3.whoi.edu/data_docs/CA_Current_MS_Abpop/code/Rossetto_etal_2015_CJFAS-1.0.zip\">&nbsp;Rossetto_etal_2015_CJFAS-1.0.zip</a> containing R-files. These files are also available in the following GitHub repository: <a href=\"https://github.com/BCODMO/Rossetto_etal_2015_CJFAS/tree/1.0\">Rossetto_etal_2015_CJFAS</a> (release 1.0).</p>
