LBSPR {DLMtool}

Length-Based SPR MPs

Description

The spawning potential ratio (SPR) is estimated using the LBSPR method and compared to a target of 0.4.

Usage

LBSPR(
  x,
  Data,
  reps = 1,
  plot = FALSE,
  SPRtarg = 0.4,
  theta1 = 0.3,
  theta2 = 0.05,
  maxchange = 0.3,
  n = 5,
  smoother = TRUE,
  R = 0.2
)

LBSPR_MLL(
  x,
  Data,
  reps = 1,
  plot = FALSE,
  SPRtarg = 0.4,
  n = 5,
  smoother = TRUE,
  R = 0.2
)

Arguments

x

A position in the data object

Data

A data object

reps

The number of stochastic samples of the MP recommendation(s)

plot

Logical. Show the plot?

SPRtarg

The target SPR

theta1

Control parameter for the harvest control rule

theta2

Control parameter for the harvest control rule

maxchange

Maximum change in effort

n

Last number of years to run the model on.

smoother

Logical. Should the SPR estimates be smoothed?

R

variance of sampling noise for smoother

Details

Effort is modified according to the harvest control rules described in Hordyk et al. (2015b):

Value

An object of class Rec-class with the TAE slot populated

Functions

• LBSPR_MLL: Fishing retention-at-length is set equivalent to slightly higher than the maturity curve if SPR < 0.4

Required Data
