coef_durif {stacomiR}

Silvering index coefficients from Caroline Durif (2009) to predict silvering stage from morphological parameters

Description

Classification scores are calculated by multiplying the metrics BL = body length, W = weight, MD = mean eye diameter (Dv+Dh)/2, and FL length of the pectoral fin, with each parameter p as S=Constant+BL*p(bl)+W*p(W)... The stage chosen is the one achieving the highest score

Usage

coef_durif

Format

An object of class matrix (inherits from array) with 5 rows and 6 columns.
