General naming conventions that are held through this package:
Fisheries are identified with fsh followed by a number - fsh1, fsh2.
Trawl survey functions start with ts_, longline survey functions start with lls.
A function that starts with q_ is a database query that will connect to either the AKFIN or AFSC database for raw data. Since queries may be specific for each species and region stand alone query “wrapper functions” are provided. These functions are named by region and species a la goa_nork().
Figure functions begin with fig_, table functions begin with tab_.
A data file name that ends with _data.csv is the raw data that originates from the database with no or little filtering. Query functions place files the data/raw folder.
Processed raw data (core function actions) are placed in the data/output folder.
A number of user provided files are needed (age error, length bins, VAST) these should be stored in the data/user_input folder as .csv files.
