Description: Marine fisheries governance and management rely heavily on reliable
    indicators of stock abundance and fishing pressure to ensure the sustainable
    utilization of marine resources. Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) is widely used
    as an index of relative abundance, but direct comparison of catch rates is
    often affected by differences in fishing effort, vessel characteristics,
    gear efficiency, and operational practices. The FESta package provides
    methods for fishing effort and CPUE standardization, including vessel-based,
    gear-based, relative effort, derived effort, generalized linear models,
    generalized additive models, generalized linear mixed models, ordered
    quantile transformation models, and multi-gear standardization techniques
    for fisheries stock assessment and monitoring.
