| 3 | == Inputs == |
| 4 | * '''Input uncertainty''' Sets inputs use for the perturbation of variables |
| 5 | * '''Groups''' |
| 6 | * '''CV''' Coefficient of variation used for perturbation of biomass |
| 7 | * '''Kalman weight''' Kalman weight used for perturbation of biomass |
| 8 | * '''Fleets''' |
| 9 | * '''CV''' Coefficient of variation used for perturbation of effort |
| 10 | * '''Annual increase in catchability''' Amount catchability will increase each year |
| 11 | |
| 12 | * '''Input reference levels''' Sets reference levels for performance evaluation and target fishing mortalities |
| 13 | * '''MSY''' Uses the results a Maximum Sustainable Yield search to set Biomass limit, Biomass base and F max. for the target fishing mortalities |
| 14 | * '''Group''' Evaluation of model runs has not been implemented yet so setting of reference levels has no effect |
| 15 | * '''Biomass lower''' Lower biomass limit |
| 16 | * '''Biomass upper''' Upper biomass limit |
| 17 | * '''Catch lower''' Lower catch limit on a group |
| 18 | * '''Catch upper''' Upper catch limit on a group |
| 19 | * '''Fleet''' |
| 20 | * '''Lower''' Lower catch limit by a fleet |
| 21 | * '''Upper''' Upper catch limit by a fleet |
| 22 | |
| 23 | * '''Input regulatory''' Sets inputs used for the fisheries regulations |
| 24 | * '''Regulatory option''' Sets how the effort of a fleet will be regulated |
| 25 | * '''Max effort''' ''Not implemented at this time.'' Caps the effort of a fleet no matter what regulatory option has been chosen |
| 26 | * '''Not used''' No regulation will be used for this fleet |
| 27 | * '''Effort''' ''Warning has not been tested or validated.'' Effort is regulated by computing target fishing mortality using Biomass limit, Biomass base and F max. from estimated biomass. If target fishing mortality exceeds achieved fishing mortality fishing effort is scaled back. |
| 28 | * '''Weakest Stock quota''' Quota for the year is computed from Biomass limit, Biomass base and F Max using estimated biomass. Effort is regulated if any catch (landings + discards) on a group exceeds its quota. |
| 29 | * '''Strongest stock + discards quota''' Quota for the year is computed from Biomass limit, Biomass base and F Max using estimated biomass. Effort is regulated if landings on the strongest stock exceed the quota. Bycatch on other stocks is discarded. |
