The dia package is a collection of functions and datasets used to run the Dam Impact Analysis (DIA) for Atlantic salmon in the Penobscot River, Maine, USA.

Details

Additional examples and descriptions of the primary user-facing functions (run_dia() and run_dia_shiny()) can be found on the GitHub repository for the `dia` package: https://github.com/danStich/dia.

Functions called directly

The following functions can be called directly from dia.

run_dia

The primary user-facing function used to run the multi-generation DIA model for Atlantic salmon

run_dia_shiny

A `shiny` implementation of `run_dia()` with graphical user interface

run_one_gen

Run the DIA model for a single generation

get_dam_passage

Get flow-correlated downstream dam passage values and probability of using Stillwater Branch for smolts each year in `run_one_gen`

make_egg_to_smolt_survival

Simulate survival from egg to smolt stage for naturally produced smolts in `run_one_gen`

make_eggs_per_female

Simulate number of eggs per female each year in `run_one_gen`

make_inriver_s

Simulate natural, in-river survival per km for downstream migrating smolts in `run_one_gen`

make_marine_s

Simulate marine survival each year in `run_one_gen`

run_downstream_passage

Run the downstream smolt passage module in `run_one_gen`

run_inefficiency

Re-distribute adult upstream migrants following failed dam passage in `run_one_gen`

run_straying

Assign destination production units for adult returns in `run_one_gen`

run_upstream_passage

Function used to run the upstream passage module for adults in `run_one_gen`

smolt_stocking

Function used to distribute stocked smolts among production units in `run_one_gen`
