inVEST finfish aquaculture filehandler for biophysical and valuation data

natcap.invest.finfish_aquaculture.finfish_aquaculture.execute(args)

Finfish Aquaculture.

This function will take care of preparing files passed into the finfish aquaculture model. It will handle all files/inputs associated with biophysical and valuation calculations and manipulations. It will create objects to be passed to the aquaculture_core.py module. It may write log, warning, or error messages to stdout.

Parameters:
  • workspace_dir (string) – The directory in which to place all result files.
  • ff_farm_loc (string) – URI that points to a shape file of fishery locations
  • farm_ID (string) – column heading used to describe individual farms. Used to link GIS location data to later inputs.
  • g_param_a (float) – Growth parameter alpha, used in modeling fish growth, should be an int or float.
  • g_param_b (float) – Growth parameter beta, used in modeling fish growth, should be an int or float.
  • g_param_tau (float) – Growth parameter tau, used in modeling fish growth, should be an int or float
  • use_uncertainty (boolean) –
  • g_param_a_sd (float) – (description)
  • g_param_b_sd (float) – (description)
  • num_monte_carlo_runs (int) –
  • water_temp_tbl (string) – URI to a CSV table where daily water temperature values are stored from one year
  • farm_op_tbl (string) – URI to CSV table of static variables for calculations
  • outplant_buffer (int) – This value will allow the outplanting start day to be flexible plus or minus the number of days specified here.
  • do_valuation (boolean) – Boolean that indicates whether or not valuation should be performed on the aquaculture model
  • p_per_kg (float) – Market price per kilogram of processed fish
  • frac_p (float) – Fraction of market price that accounts for costs rather than profit
  • discount (float) – Daily market discount rate

natcap.invest.finfish_aquaculture.finfish_aquaculture.format_ops_table(op_path, farm_ID, ff_aqua_args)

Takes in the path to the operating parameters table as well as the keyword to look for to identify the farm number to go with the parameters, and outputs a 2D dictionary that contains all parameters by farm and description. The outer key is farm number, and the inner key is a string description of the parameter.

Input:

ff_aqua_args: Dictionary of arguments being created in order to be
passed to the aquaculture core function.
Output:
ff_aqua_args[‘farm_op_dict’]: A dictionary that is built up to store
the static parameters for the aquaculture model run. This is a 2D dictionary, where the outer key is the farm ID number, and the inner keys are strings of parameter names.

Returns nothing.

natcap.invest.finfish_aquaculture.finfish_aquaculture.format_temp_table(temp_path, ff_aqua_args)

Input:
temp_path: URI to a CSV file containing temperature data for 365 days
for the farms on which we will look at growth cycles.
ff_aqua_args: Dictionary of arguments that we are building up in order
to pass it to the aquaculture core module.
Output:
ff_aqua_args[‘water_temp_dict’]: A 2D dictionary containing temperature
data for 365 days. The outer keys are days of the year from 0 to 364 (we need to be able to check the day modulo 365) which we manually shift down by 1, and the inner keys are farm ID numbers.

Returns nothing.
