    66== How the model runs == 
    7 ''Still to do.'' 
     7The MSE is capable of running in three different modes.  
    88 
     9Using fishing effort from the currently load Ecosim scenario then regulating fishing effort when fishing mortality exceeds target values set via the Target fishing mortality form. 
     10 
     11Predicting fishing effort based on the parameters set in the Fleet size dynamics then regulating fishing effort when fishing mortality exceeds target values set via the Target fishing mortality form. 
     12 
     13Evaluating the currently load Ecosim scenario. No attempt is made to regulate the fishery this mode is strictly an evaluation of the current Ecosim scenario.
