Cod Assessment

Description

Stock assessment data and model fit for cod (Gadus morhua) in Icelandic waters, using a Coleraine statistical catch-at-age model.

This is a single-sex model with 10 age classes, the catch data starting in 1971 and ending in 2003. The model was fitted to three data components: survey abundance index, commercial catch at age, and survey catch at age.

Usage

x.cod

Format

List of class scape containing:

N	predicted numbers at age
B	predicted biomass, recruitment, and observed landings (year things)
Sel	predicted selectivity and observed maturity (age things)
Dev	predicted recruitment deviates from the stock-recruitment curve
Survey	survey abundance index and fit
CAc	commercial C@A (catch at age) and fit
CAs	survey C@A and fit

Details

Hilborn et al. (2003) give a general description of the Coleraine generalized model. Magnusson and Hilborn (2007) describe the model used in this assessment.

A maturity vector of zeros and ones was used to predict the biomass of age 4 and older, the quantity of main interest for the management of this stock.

Estimated parameters: R0, Rinit, uinit, Sleft[commercial], Sfull[c], Sleft[survey], Sfull[s], q, and 41 recruitment deviates.

Note

The list was imported from the file ‘scape/example/cod.res’ using importCol.

The functions ll (package gdata) and head are recommended for browsing nested objects, e.g. ll(x.cod), ll(x.cod$N), and head(x.cod$N).
