OVERVIEW: This is a half-day course for fisheries professionals and students interested in fisheries-specific analysis. This introductory-to-intermediate course will familiarize participants with popular data wrangling (tidyR and dplyr) and plotting (ggplot2) packages in R. We will cover age comparisons, size structure, weight-length relationships, condition, length-at-age, mortality, and individual growth through coding exercises. Participants in the course should be familiar with some of R basics like importing data, loading libraries, and basic mathematical operations. Participants should come to the course with R and RStudio installed on a laptop.
