Description: Supports the standardized analysis of Mediterranean 
    International Bottom Trawl Survey (MEDITS) data and the calculation 
    of biological indicators for selected species and population 
    components. The package provides functions to estimate abundance 
    and biomass indices, analyse size structure and length frequency 
    distributions, derive sex ratio and maturity related metrics, 
    explore spatial patterns, and assess temporal trends across 
    surveys. Developed for integration within the Regional Database 
    for Fisheries (RDBFIS) framework, it is intended to work on 
    quality checked input data and to produce reproducible outputs 
    that can support monitoring, comparative analyses among 
    Geographical Sub-Areas (GSAs) and countries, and fishery management.
