BENTHIS_2020: BENTHIS WP2 Workflow revisited.

• Input data are EFLALO and TACSAT data formats (see VMStools R library on github) and need to be put in the EflaloAndTacsat folder. Two very small example are provided.

• Workflow itself is split in two parts: ** BenthisWorkflow2020.r is used to obtain a gridded swept area from interpolating bottom contacting gears tracks, ** couplingInterpolatedVmsToLandings2020.r is of use to obtain spatial origin of catches (landings) by dispatching landings back to interpolated VMS positions

• Equivalent but separated coding is provided for vessels using Pelagic Gears (e.g. OTM, PTM or PS).

• fuelEfficiencyGraphs2020.r provides a routine for plotting Value Per Unit Fuel and other ratios per aggregation of fleet-segments and FAO areas

• quickmap2020.r provides a routine for mapping the gridded data per fishery and species

• 2 example shell scripts to run on a High Performance Computing (HPC) service are also provided as such a workflow can be both time and memory consuming

• Background map in use was made with Natural Earth. Free vector and raster map data @ naturalearthdata.com
