Summary

This script prepares the RAM B/Bmsy data: 1. Relevant data are collected from the RAM database 2. Missing years are gapfilled when appropriate 3. RAM and SAUP species names are harmonized in a few cases 4. RAM stocks are associated with the corresponding OHI and FAO regions

Updates from previous assessment

Using new SAUP catch data

Gapfill RAM data when there are missing years

For each stock: - Missing years are gapfilled using a linear regression model that includes data from 2001 to 2018 (2018 is the final year of SAUP data). To be included in the gapfilling, there have to be 5 or more years of B/Bmsy data occuring over the last 11 years of data, from 2005 to 2015. - We convert any predicted RAM B/Bmsy value less than the minimum observed B/Bmsy value to that the minimum observed value, as there are some negative predicted values.

Summary: - There are 432 RAM stocks with at least 5 years of B/Bmsy data from 2005 to 2015. - 289 of these stocks have at least 1 year of gapfilled data.
- A few of the predicted B/Bmsy values go below zero. We convert anything with a RAM B/Bmsy value < 0.000001475954 to 0.000001475954, which is the minimum observed B/Bmsy value in the data.

## gap fill ram_bmsy
## based on this it seems reasonable to gap-fill missing values

ram_gf_check <- ram_bmsy_new %>%
   filter(year >= 2001) %>%
  spread(year, ram_bmsy) 

# identify stocks for gapfilling (those with 5 or more years of data since 2005).
# NOTE: we potentially gapfill to 2001, but we want stocks with adequate *recent* data 
ram_bmsy_gf <- ram_bmsy_new %>%
  filter(year >= 2001 & year <= 2018) %>%   # 2017 corresponds to the final year of SAUP catch data
  group_by(stockid) %>%
  mutate(years_data_2005_now = length(ram_bmsy[year >= 2005])) %>%

## Get rows for stocks/years with no B/Bmsy (identified as NA B/Bmsy value for now)
ram_bmsy_gf <- ram_bmsy_gf %>%

# 289 stocks have at least one year of B/Bmsy values gapfilled; I assume this loss is because version 4.495 is more refined than the previous version - v2021

Identify FAO and OHI regions for RAM stocks

Identify the FAO/OHI regions where each RAM stock is located (fao and ohi regions are assigned to RAM Data in STEP4b_fao_ohi_rgns.Rmd. Run fao_ohi_rgns.Rmd now.

If there are many differences between RAM spatial file and RAM metadata, check the fao_ohi_rgns.Rmd prep again.

## Read in RAM spatial stocks file
ram_spatial <- read.csv("int/RAM_fao_ohi_rgns_final.csv", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

ram_meta <- metadata %>% 
  dplyr::select(stockid, stocklong, scientificname)

setdiff(ram_spatial$stockid, ram_meta$stockid) # make sure all the spatial data has corresponding metadata (should be 0). It is not 0, probably because these are ones that have been removed from the RAM database since the 2017 assessment... delete these from the data frame below. 

# join with metadata to get scientific name
ram_spatial <- ram_spatial %>%
  dplyr::select(-stocklong) %>%
  left_join(ram_meta, by = c("stockid")) %>%
  rename(RAM_species = scientificname) %>%
  filter(!is.na(stocklong)) ## filtering out ones that didn't match above

setdiff(ram_spatial$stockid, ram_meta$stockid) # now it is 0

Standardize species names

In most cases, the RAM and SAUP data use the same species names, but there are a few exceptions. The following code identifies species in the RAM data that are not in the SAUP data. In these cases, different species names may be used (although not necessarily because some of the species may be present in RAM, but not SAUP, for other reasons). For these species, I used fishbase to explore synonyms and create a table to harmonize the RAM species names with the SAUP species names (saved as: int/RAM_species_to_SAUP.csv).

ram_bmsy_gf_final <- read_csv(file.path("int/ram_stock_bmsy_gf.csv"))

# get list of RAM species, scientific name
ram_sp <- ram_bmsy_gf_final %>%
  left_join(data.frame(metadata), by = "stockid") %>%
  dplyr::select(scientificname) %>%
  unique() %>%
  arrange(scientificname)


# SAUP species, sci name (read in the datatable that includes TaxonKey)
SAUP_sp <- read_csv(file.path(dir_M,'git-annex/globalprep/fis/v2021/int/stock_catch_by_rgn_taxa.csv')) %>% 
  dplyr::rename(SAUP_scientificname = TaxonName) %>%
  dplyr::select(SAUP_scientificname) %>%
  unique() %>%
  arrange(SAUP_scientificname)


# compare names - what's in RAM that's not in SAUP
tmp <- data.frame(scientificname = sort(setdiff(ram_sp$scientificname, SAUP_sp$SAUP_scientificname))) # 47 species names

# compare names - what's in SAUP that's not in RAM
tmp2 <- data.frame(scientificname = sort(setdiff(SAUP_sp$SAUP_scientificname, ram_sp$scientificname))) # 2070 species names.. unfortunately a lot.

write.csv(tmp, "int/unmatched_RAM_species.csv", row.names=FALSE)
write.csv(tmp2, "int/SAUP_species_no_RAM.csv", row.names=FALSE)

#setdiff(tmp, ram_name_corr$RAM_species)


## join ram spatial with RAM species on scientific name. We can use this to help check whether questionable species names across the ram and SAUP data match by region and fao id...
ram_sp_fao_ohi <- tmp %>%
  left_join(ram_spatial, by = c("scientificname" = "RAM_species")) %>%
  unique()

write_csv(ram_sp_fao_ohi, "int/new_ram_sp.csv")  

## get SAUP fao_ohi regions
SAUP_sp_fao_ohi <- read_csv(file.path(dir_M,'git-annex/globalprep/fis/v2021/int/stock_catch_by_rgn_taxa.csv')) %>% 
  dplyr::rename(SAUP_scientificname = TaxonName) %>%
   dplyr::filter(year > 1979) # %>%
  #filter(str_detect(SAUP_scientificname, "Lepidorhombus"))

RAM_species_to_SAUP <- read.csv("int/RAM_species_to_SAUP.csv", stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

# Then I hand-looked up each of the missing ones from "unmatched_RAM_species.csv", and added those new ones to "RAM_species_to_SAUP.csv" to generate this list - most still unmatched. See "RAM_species_to_SAUP_notes.csv" for our reasoning behind these changes. 

setdiff(tmp$scientificname, RAM_species_to_SAUP$SAUP_species) ## these are the new species to add to "RAM_species_to_SAUP.csv".
