Analysis tagging experiments: seasonal growth patterns (KB-14-012-056)

Software tools were developed and tested to extract and analyse data from the IMARES tagging data base comprising mark – recapture data of fish. The project showed that the data base, which comprises of over 50 thousand of recaptures of exploited species since the beginning of the 1900s, is now available for future use. The scripts developed under this project facilitate its use as it provides R-scripts to extract and explore data sets and R-scripts to estimate migration parameters.

As a pilot, a subset of data was extracted and the seasonal pattern in growth was analysed.
