| | 2 | The ''Ecospace fishery'' form (Figure 10.9) is used to assign fleets, i.e., to define in which habitat(s) a fishing fleet may operate, and to identify whether a given fleet may operate within a restricted area. |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | For each fleet indicate where it may operate by clicking: |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | * All: if it can operate in all habitats (default setting), or; |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | * For each habitat click if may operate in the given habitat; |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | * MPA: click if the fleet is allowed to operate in the given protected areas. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | Effective power: sets relative catchabilities by gear type, treating effort for each gear as starting at base value of 1.0 so that F for the gear (F = qE=Catch/biomass) is 1.0 · q where q is relative catchability. This is to avoid measuring effort in some unnecessary unit. Effective power should be entered as a non-negative parameter, and has a default value of 1. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | Total efficiency multiplier: a scaling factor for effort by fleet, it should be non-negative, and has a default value of 1. |
