SSplots: Stock Status Plots (SSPs)

Pauly et al. (2008) <http://legacy.seaaroundus.s3.amazonaws.com/doc/Researcher+Publications/dpauly/PDF/2008/Books%26Chapters/FisheriesInLargeMarineEcosystems.pdf> created (and coined the name) 'Stock Status Plots' for a UNEP compendium on Large Marine Ecosystems(LMEs, Sherman and Hempel (2009)<https://marineinfo.org/imis?module=ref&refid=142061&printversion=1&dropIMIStitle=1>). Stock status plots are bivariate graphs summarizing the status (e.g., developing, fully exploited, overexploited, etc.), through time, of the multispecies fisheries of a fished area or ecosystem. This package contains three functions to generate stock status plots viz., SSplots_pauly() (as per the criteria proposed by Pauly et al.,2008), SSplots_kleisner() (as per the criteria proposed by Kleisner and Pauly (2011) <http://www.ecomarres.com/downloads/regional.pdf> and Kleisner et al. (2013) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-2979.2012.00469.x>)and SSplots_EPI() (as per the criteria proposed by Jayasankar et al.,2021 <https://eprints.cmfri.org.in/11364/>).
