fishboot :fish: :boot:

A suite of bootstrap-based models and tools for analyzing fish stocks and aquatic populations. Designed for ecologists and fisheries scientists, it supports data from length-frequency distributions, tag-and-recapture studies, and hard structure readings (e.g., otoliths). See Schwamborn et al., 2019 (doi:10.1016/j.ecolmodel.2018.12.001) for background. The package includes functions for bootstrapped fitting of growth curves and plotting.
