The survey indices can be calculated using the [StoX software](https://stoxproject.github.io/) but also manually outside StoX. See [the user guide](https://deepwaterimr.github.io/RstoxStrata/articles/RstoxStrata.html) for further details.

```{r eval = FALSE}
devtools::install_github("DeepWaterIMR/RstoxStrata")
```
