  2. Is the average difference in performance statistic over the last ref.it iterations < thresh?

By default three commonly used performance metrics are used:

  1. Average Yield Relative to Reference Yield

  2. Probability Spawning Biomass is above 0.1BMSY

  3. Probability Average Annual Variability in Yield is < 20 per cent

Additional or alternative performance metrics objects can be supplied. Advanced users can develop their own performance metrics.

Class 'Fleet'

Description

The component of the operating model that controls fishing dynamics

Slots

Name

Identifying name for the fleet. Usually includes location and gear type.

nyears

The number of years for the historical simulation. Single value. For example, if the simulated population is assumed to be unfished in 1975 and this is the year you want to start your historical simulations, and the most recent year for which there is data available is 2019, then nyears equals 45.

CurrentYr

The last historical year simulated before projections begin. Single value. Note that this should match the last historical year specified in the Data object, which is usually the last historical year for which data is available.

EffYears

Vector indicating the historical years where there is information available to infer the relative fishing effort expended.This vector is specified in terms of the position of the year in the vector rather than the calendar year. For example, say our simulation starts with an unfished stock in 1975,and the current year (the last year for which there is data available) is 2019. Then there are 45 historical years simulated, and EffYears should include numbers between 1 and 45. Note that there may not be information available for every historical year, especially for data poor fisheries. In these situations, the EffYears vector should include only the positions of the years for which there is information, and the vector may be shorter than the total number of simulated historical years (nyears).

EffLower

Lower bound on relative fishing effort corresponding to EffYears. EffLower must be a vector that is the same length as EffYears describing how fishing effort has changed over time. Information on relative fishing effort can be entered in any units provided they are consistent across the entire vector because the data provided will be scaled to 1 (divided by the maximum number provided).

EffUpper

Upper bound on relative fishing effort corresponding to EffYears. EffUpper must be a vector that is the same length as EffYears describing how fishing effort has changed over time. Information on relative fishing effort can be entered in any units provided they are consistent across the entire vector because the data provided will be scaled to 1 (divided by the maximum number provided).

Esd

Additional inter-annual variability in fishing mortality rate. For each historical simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. If this parameter has a positive (non-zero) value, the yearly fishing mortality rate is drawn from a log-normal distribution with a standard deviation (in log space) specified by the value of Esd drawn for that simulation. This parameter applies only to historical projections.

qinc

Mean temporal trend in catchability (also though of as the efficiency of fishing gear) parameter, expressed as a percentage change in catchability (q) per year. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. Positive numbers indicate an increase and negative numbers indicate a decrease. q then changes by this amount for in each year of the simulation This parameter applies only to forward projections.

qcv

Inter-annual variability in catchability expressed as a coefficient of variation. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This parameter applies only to forward projections.

L5

Shortest length at which 5% of the population is vulnerable to selection by the gear used in this fleet. Values can either be specified as lengths (in the same units used for the maturity and growth parameters in the stock object) or as a percentage of the size of maturity (see the parameter isRel for more information). For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This value is the same in all years unless cpars is used to provide time-varying selection.

LFS

Shortest length at which 100% of the population is vulnerable to selection by the gear used by this fleet. Values can either be specified as lengths (in the same units used for the maturity and growth parameters in the stock object) or as a percentage of the size of maturity (see the parameter isRel for more information). For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This value is the same in all years unless cpars is used to provide time-varying selection.

Vmaxlen

Proportion of fish selected by the gear at the asymptotic length (Stock@Linf). Upper and Lower bounds between 0 and 1. A value of 1 indicates that 100% of fish are selected at the asymptotic length, and the selection curve is logistic. If Vmaxlen is less than 1 the selection curve is dome shaped. For example, if Vmaxlen is 0.4, then only 40% of fish are vulnerable to the fishing gear at the asymptotic length.

isRel

Specify whether selection and retention parameters use absolute lengths or relative to the size of maturity. Single logical value (TRUE or FALSE).

LR5

Shortest length at which 5% of the population is vulnerable to retention by the fleet. Values can either be specified as lengths (in the same units used for the maturity and growth parameters in the stock object) or as a percentage of the size of maturity (see the parameter isRel for more information). For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This value is the same in all years unless cpars is used to provide time-varying selection.

LFR

Shortest length where 100% of the population is vulnerable to retention by the fleet. Values can either be specified as lengths (in the same units used for the maturity and growth parameters in the stock object) or as a percentage of the size of maturity (see the parameter isRel for more information). For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This value is the same in all years unless cpars is used to provide time-varying selection.

Rmaxlen

Proportion of fish retained at the asymptotic length (Stock@Linf). Upper and Lower bounds between 0 and 1. A value of 1 indicates that 100% of fish are retained at the asymptotic length, and the selection curve is logistic. If Rmaxlen is less than 1 the retention curve is dome shaped. For example, if Rmaxlen is 0.4, then only 40% of fish at the asymptotic length are retained.

DR

Discard rate, defined as the proportion of fully selected fish that are discarded by the fleet. Upper and Lower bounds between 0 and 1, with a value of 1 indicates that 100% of selected fish are discarded. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided.

Spat_targ

Distribution of fishing in relation to vulnerable biomass (VB) across areas. The distribution of fishing effort is proportional to VB^Spat_targ. Upper and lower bounds of a uniform distribution. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This parameter allows the user to model either avoidance or spatial targeting behavior by the fleet. If the parameter value is 1, fishing effort is allocated across areas in proportion to the population density of that area. Values below 1 simulate an avoidance behavior and values above 1 simulate a targeting behavior.

MPA

Logical argument (TRUE or FALSE). Creates an MPA in Area 1 for all years if true is selected. Defaults to FALSE.

Reference management procedures

Description

Several reference MPs for your operating model to use in the management strategy evaluation. FMSYref (and related) assume perfect information about FMSY (FMSY is taken from the operating model stored at Data@Misc$ReferencePoints$ByYear$FMSY), and set an effort limit (TAE) so that F=FMSY (or some fraction of FMSY) in each year the MP is applied. NFref sets annual catch to zero and is used for looking at variability in stock with no fishing.

Usage

FMSYref(x, Data, reps = 100, plot = FALSE)

FMSYref50(x, Data, reps = 100, plot = FALSE)

FMSYref75(x, Data, reps = 100, plot = FALSE)

NFref(x, Data, reps = 100, plot = FALSE)

curEref(x, Data, reps = 100, plot = FALSE)

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?

Details

Note that you can out-perform FMSYref easily. The requirement for fixed F is actually quite strict and is by no means the upper limit in terms of yield. Don't panic if your method beats this one for yield, especially for short-lived species of high temporal variability in productivity!

Value

An object of class Rec with the TAC slot populated with a numeric vector of length reps

Functions

  • FMSYref(): A reference FMSY method that fishes at FMSY

  • FMSYref50(): A reference FMSY method that fishes at 50% of FMSY

  • FMSYref75(): A reference FMSY method that fishes at 75% of FMSY

  • NFref(): A reference MP that sets annual catch to almost zero (1e-15)

  • curEref(): A reference MP that keeps fishing effort at the level of the last historical year

iSCAM2OM


Reads MPD or MCMC estimates and data from iSCAM file structure into an operating model

Description

Functions for importing an iSCAM assessment. From a fitted model, iSCAM2OM populates the various slots of an operating model and iSCAM2Data generates a Data object. These functions rely on several functions written by Chris Grandin (DFO PBS).

Usage

iSCAM2OM(
  iSCAMdir,
  nsim = 48,
  proyears = 50,
  mcmc = FALSE,
  spawn_time_frac = 0,
  Name = "iSCAM model",
  Source = "No source provided",
  length_timestep = 1,
  nyr_par_mu = 2,
  Author = "No author provided",
  report = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE
)

iSCAM2Data(
  iSCAMdir,
  Name = "iSCAM assessment",
  Source = "No source provided",
  length_timestep = 1,
  Author = "No author provided"
)

Arguments

iSCAMdir

A folder with iSCAM input and output files in it. Alternatively, a list returned by load.iscam.files.

nsim

The number of simulations to take for parameters with uncertainty (for OM@cpars custom parameters)

proyears

The number of MSE projection years

mcmc

Logical, whether to use mcmc samples to create custom parameters cpars. Alternatively, a list returned by read.mcmc. Set the seed for the function to sub-sample the mcmc samples.

spawn_time_frac

Numeric between 0-1 indicating when spawning occurs within the time step

Name

The name of the operating model

Source

Reference to assessment documentation e.g. a url

length_timestep

How long is a model time step in years (e.g. a quarterly model is 0.25, a monthly model 1/12) (currently only uses annual time step)

nyr_par_mu

integer, the number of recent years to estimate vulnerability over for future projections

Author

Who did the assessment

report

logical should a numbers at age reconstruction plot be produced?

silent

logical should progress reporting be printed to the console?

Biological parameters

The function calls model <- load.iscam.files(iSCAMdir) and grabs the following matrices:

  • model$mpd$d3_weight_mat - fecundity (product of weight and maturity at age)

  • model$mpd$ma - maturity at age

MPD historical reconstruction

The function calls model <- load.iscam.files(iSCAMdir) and then grabs the following matrices:

  • model$mpd$N - abundance at age

  • model$mpd$F - fishing mortality at age

  • model$mpd$M - natural mortality at age

If a delay-difference model is recognized, then the following is used instead:

  • model$mpd$F_dd - fishing mortality at age

  • model$mpd$M_dd - natural mortality at age

Abundance at age is reconstructed using model$mpd$rt (recruitment) and projected with F_dd and M_dd to match model$mpd$numbers.

MCMC historical reconstruction

If mcmc = TRUE the function calls mcmc_model <- read.mcmc(iSCAMdir), and grabs nsim sub-samples of the MCMC output through the following arrays:

  • mcmc_model$params and mcmc_model$ft - fishing mortality at age from the fleet selectivity parameters and apical F's

  • mcmc_model$m - year-specific natural mortality at age

  • mcmc_model$params$rinit and mcmc_model$rt - recruitment and abundance

Start age

While the iSCAM start age can be greater than zero, abundance at age is back-calculated to age zero with M, maturity, growth = 0. In this way, the stock-recruit dynamics from iSCAM are preserved.

These arrays are then passed to Assess2OM to generate the operating model.

Reference points

iSCAM calculates the stock-recruit relationship and subsequently a single set of MSY and unfished reference points using R0, steepness, and unfished spawners per recruit from the mean M, fecundity, and growth (mean with respect to time).

R0 and h are recalculated for the operating model by obtaining the stock-recruit alpha and beta from the iSCAM parameters and the mean unfished spawners per recruit in the first ageM (age of 50% maturity) years.

Combines all iSCAM age composition data across fleets

Description

iSCAM assessments are often fitted to numerous fleets that have differing age selectivities. iSCAMcomps is a simple way of providing the aggregate catch at age data. It should be noted that this process is important and in a real application would require due diligence (ie peer reviewed data workshop).

Usage

iSCAMcomps(replist, Year)

Arguments

replist

S3 class object: the output from a read from an iSCAM data folder

Year

Integer vector: the years of the data object ie Data@Year

Author(s)

T. Carruthers


Combines indices into a single index using linear modelling (** Deprecated **)

Description

iSCAM assessments often make use of multiple indices of abundance. The data object and MPs currently only make use of a single index. combiSCAMinds is a function that creates a single index from many using linear modelling. It is a simple way of providing initial calculations of management recommendations and it should be noted that this process is important and in a real application would require due diligence (ie peer reviewed data workshop).

Usage

iSCAMinds(idata, Year, fleeteffect = T)

Arguments

idata

List: the indices recorded in a read from an iSCAM data folder, e.g. replist$data$indices

Year

Integer vector: the years of the data object ie Data@Year

fleeteffect

Logical: should a fleet effect be added to the linear model?

Lag the time-series slots in a Data object by a specified number of time-steps

Description

Lag the time-series slots in a Data object by a specified number of time-steps

Usage

Lag_Data(Data, Data_Lag = 0, msg = FALSE)

Arguments

Data

An object of class Data

Data_Lag

Either a numeric vector of length 1 with a positive number specifying the number of time-steps to lag all time-series data, or a named list with numeric values (length 1). See details for more information.

msg

Logical. Display the messages?

Details

By default, all simulated data in the forward projections are provided up to the previous time-step. That is, in projection year t, the simulated data are up to and including t-1. This function will lag the time-series values by the specified value. For example, Data_Lag=5 will mean in projection time-step t the data will be up to and including t-6.

Note: The Data@Year slot is not lagged by this function. Many built-in MPs use the length of Data@Year to determine the number of years of data for smoothing over recent years etc. This may not be appropriate so check the MP is behaving as you expect if you use Lag_Data.

Value

An object of class Data with time-series slots lagged.

Examples

# Lag all time-series slots by 2 time-steps (usually years)
Data <- Example_datafile
Lagged_1 <- Lag_Data(Data, 2)
length(Data@Year)
length(Lagged_1@Year)
length(Data@Cat[1,])
length(Lagged_1@Cat[1,])
length(Data@Ind[1,])

Details

filterMK

If filterMK is logical: Should the predicted M and K parameters be filtered within the range specified in inparsor OM?

Otherwise, filterMK must be numeric vector of length(2) specifying lower and upper percentiles that will be applied to the predicted M or K values

The model predicts missing life-history parameters based on provided parameters and taxonomic information. If both M and K are provided in inpars or OM, K values are predicted and predictions filtered so that resulting K values are within bounds specified in inpars$K or OM@K (see filterMK).

If both Linf and L50 are provided in inpars or OM, L50 values are predicted and values in inpars$L50 or OM@L50 are ignored.

Value

An operating model component that controls the observation model

Slots

Name

The name of the observation model object. Single value. Character string.

Name

The name of the Observation error object. Single value. Character string.

Cobs

Observation error around the total catch. Observation error in the total catch is expressed as a coefficient of variation (CV). Cobs requires upper and lower bounds of a uniform distribution, and for each simulation a CV is sampled from this distribution. Each CV is used to specify a log-normal error distribution with a mean of 1 and a standard deviation equal to the sampled CV. The yearly observation error values for the catch data are then drawn from this distribution. For each time step the simulation model records the true catch, but the observed catch is generated by applying this yearly error term (plus any bias, if specified) to the true catch.

Cbiascv

Log-normally distributed coefficient of variation controlling the sampling bias in observed catch for each simulation. Bias occurs when catches are systematically skewed away from the true catch level (for example, due to underreporting of catch or undetected illegal catches). Cbiascv is a single value specifying the standard deviation of a log-normal distribution with a mean of 1 and a standard deviation equal to the sampled CV. For each simulation a bias value is drawn from this distribution, and that bias is applied across all years.

For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided.

Positive real numbers.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new('Obs')

Note

Its questionable whether the hyperstability/hyperdepletion should be categorised as an observation model characteristic as it is most often driven by fleet dynamics (and therefore should be in the fleet object). Oh well its here and you might want to make it hyperstable beta < 1 or hyperdeplete beta > 1, only.

P50(MSEobj = NULL, Ref = 0.5, Yrs = NULL)

P100(MSEobj = NULL, Ref = 1, Yrs = NULL)

STY(MSEobj = NULL, Ref = 0.5, Yrs = 10)

Yield(MSEobj = NULL, Ref = 1, Yrs = NULL)

PGK(MSEobj = NULL, Ref = 1, Yrs = NULL)

AAVY(MSEobj = NULL, Ref = 0.2, Yrs = NULL)

AAVE(MSEobj = NULL, Ref = 0.2, Yrs = NULL)

Arguments

MSEobj

An object of class MSE

Ref

Reference point for calculating the performance metric. See details.

Yrs

Numeric vector of length 2 with year indices to summarize performance. If NULL, the performance is summarized over all projection years.

Details

Performance Metric definitions:

P10 Probability B > 0.1 BMSY
P50 Probability B > 0.5 BMSY
P100 Probability B > BMSY
PNOF Probability F < FMSY
LTY Probability Long-Term Yield > 0.5 Relative Yield
STY Probability Short-Term Yield > 0.5 Relative Yield
AAVY Probability AAVY < 0.2 (Average Annual Variability in Yield)
AAVE Probability AAVE < 0.2 (Average Annual Variability in Effort)
Yield Average Yield (relative to Reference Yield)

Argument Ref provides the ratio relative to the reference point for calculating the performance metric. For biomass-based PMs (P10, P50, P100), this is the fraction of BMSY. For PNOF, the fraction of FMSY. For Yield (and LTY/STY), the fraction of the Reference Yield. For AAVY is it the maximum acceptable variability in yield (i.e, default for AAVY is Ref=0.2)

The Yrs argument defines the number of years to calculate the performance statistic over. A value of NULL, the default for AAVY, AAVE, P10, P50, P100, and PNOF, means that the performance metric is calculated over all projection years. A numeric vector of length two is used to specify the first and last year, e.g, if Yrs=c(1,10) the performance statistic is calculated over the first 10 projection years. A numeric vector of length one with positive or negative value respectively can be used to specify the first x or last x years, e.g, Yrs=10 is first 10 years, and Yrs=-10 is the last 10 years. See ChkYrs for more details.

By default Long-Term Yield (LTY) is the Yield in the last ten years of the projection period in the MSE, and Short-Term Yield (STY) is that in the first 10 years of the projection period.

Value

An object of class PMobj

Run a Management Strategy Evaluation

Description

Functions to run the Management Strategy Evaluation (closed-loop simulation) for a specified operating model

Usage

Simulate(OM = MSEtool::testOM, parallel = FALSE, silent = FALSE, nsim = NULL)

Project(
  Hist = NULL,
  MPs = NA,
  parallel = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE,
  extended = FALSE,
  checkMPs = FALSE
)

runMSE(
  OM = MSEtool::testOM,
  MPs = NA,
  Hist = FALSE,
  silent = FALSE,
  parallel = FALSE,
  extended = FALSE,
  checkMPs = FALSE
)

Arguments

OM

An operating model object (class OM or class Hist). Also works for MOM objects, as a wrapper for ProjectMOM

parallel

Logical or a named list. Should MPs be run using parallel processing? For runMSE, can also be "sac" to run the entire MSE in parallel using the split-apply-combine technique. See Details for more information.

silent

Should messages be printed out to the console?

nsim

Optional. numeric value to override OM@nsim.

Hist

Should model stop after historical simulations? Returns an object of class 'Hist' containing all historical data

MPs

A vector of methods (character string) of class MP

extended

Logical. Return extended projection results? if TRUE, MSE@Misc$extended is a named list with extended data (including historical and projection by area), and extended version of MSE@Hist is returned.

checkMPs

Logical. Check if the specified MPs exist and can be run on SimulatedData?

Details

Running MPs in parallel

For most MPs, running in parallel can actually lead to an increase in computation time, due to the overhead in sending the information over to the cores. Consequently, by default the MPs will not be run in parallel if parallel=TRUE (although other internal code will be run in parallel mode).

To run MPs in parallel, specify a named list with the name of the MP(s) assigned as TRUE. For example,⁠parallel=list(AvC=TRUE⁠) will run the AvC MP in parallel mode.

Split-apply-combine MSE in parallel

Additional savings in computation time can be achieved by running the entire simulation in batches. Individual simulations of the operating model are divided into separate cores using SubCpars, Simulate and Project are applied independently for each core via snowfall::sfClusterApplyLB, and the output (a list of MSE objects) is stitched back together into a single MSE object using joinMSE.

The ideal number of cores will be determined based on the number of simulations and available cores.

There are several issues to look out for when using this split-apply-combine technique:

  • Numerical optimization for depletion may fail in individual cores when OM@cpars$qs is not specified.

  • Length bins should be specified in the operating model in OM@cpars$CAL_bins. Otherwise, length bins can vary by core and create problems when combining into a single object.

  • Compared to non-parallel runs, sampled parameters in the operating model will vary despite the same value in OM@seed.

  • If there is an error in individual cores or while combining the parallel output into a single Hist or MSE object, the list of output (from the cores) will be returned.

Value

Functions return objects of class Hist or MSE

  • Simulate - An object of class Hist

  • Project - An object of class MSE

  • runMSE - An object of class MSE if Hist = TRUE otherwise a class Hist object

Functions

  • Simulate(): Run the Historical Simulations from an object of class OM

Slots

Name

An identifying name for the Stock object. Single value. Character string.

Common_Name

Common name of the species. Character string.

Species

Scientific name of the species. Genus and species name. Character string.

maxage

The maximum age of individuals that is simulated. There are maxage+1 (recruitment to age-0) age classes in the storage matrices. maxage is the 'plus group' where all age-classes > maxage are grouped, unless option switched off with OM@cpars$plusgroup=0. Single value. Positive integer.

R0

Initial number of unfished recruits to age-0. This number is used to scale the size of the population to match catch or data, but does not affect any of the population dynamics unless the OM has been conditioned with data. As a result, for a data-limited fishery any number can be used for R0. In data-rich stocks R0 may be estimated as part of a stock assessment, but for data limited stocks users can choose either an arbitrary number (say, 1000) or choose a number that produces simulated catches in recent historical years that are similar to real world catch data. Single value. Positive real number.

M

The instantaneous rate of natural mortality. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Non-negative real numbers.

Inter-annual variation in M expressed as a coefficient of variation of a log-normal distribution. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. If this parameter is positive, yearly M is drawn from a log-normal distribution with a mean specified by log(M) drawn for that simulation and a standard deviation in log space specified by the value of Msd drawn for that simulation. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Non-negative real numbers

h

Steepness of the stock recruit relationship. Steepness governs the proportion of unfished recruits produced when the stock is at 20% of the unfished population size. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This value is the same in all years of a given simulation. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Values from 1/5 to 1.

SRrel

Type of stock-recruit relationship. Use 1 to select a Beverton Holt relationship, 2 to select a Ricker relationship. Single value. Integer

Perr

Recruitment process error, which is defined as the standard deviation of the recruitment deviations in log space. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Non-negative real numbers.

AC

Autocorrelation in the recruitment deviations in log space. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided, and used to add lag-1 auto-correlation to the log recruitment deviations. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Non-negative real numbers.

Linf

The von Bertalanffy growth parameter Linf, which specifies the average maximum size that would reached by adult fish if they lived indefinitely. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This value is the same in all years unless Linfsd is a positive number. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive real numbers.

Linfsd

Inter-annual variation in Linf. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. If this parameter has a positive value, yearly Linf is drawn from a log-normal distribution with a mean specified by the value of Linf drawn for that simulation and a standard deviation (in log space) specified by the value of Linfsd drawn for that simulation. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Non-negative real numbers.

K

The von Bertalanffy growth parameter k, which specifies the average rate of growth. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This value is the same in all years unless Ksd is a positive number. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive real numbers.

Ksd

Inter-annual variation in K. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. If this parameter has a positive value, yearly K is drawn from a log-normal distribution with a mean specified by the value of K drawn for that simulation and a standard deviation (in log space) specified by the value of Ksd drawn for that simulation. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Non-negative real numbers.

t0

The von Bertalanffy growth parameter t0, which specifies the theoretical age at a size 0. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Non-positive real numbers.

LenCV

The coefficient of variation (defined as the standard deviation divided by mean) of the length-at-age. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided to specify the distribution of observed length-at-age, and the CV of this distribution is constant for all age classes (i.e, standard deviation increases proportionally with the mean). Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive real numbers.

L50

Length at 50% maturity. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. The L50 and L50_95 parameters are converted to ages using the growth parameters provided and used to construct a logistic curve to determine the proportion of the population that is mature in each age class. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive real numbers.

L50_95

Difference in lengths between 50% and 95% maturity. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. The value drawn is then added to the length at 50% maturity to determine the length at 95% maturity. This parameterization is used instead of specifying the size at 95 percent maturity to avoid situations where the value drawn for the size at 95% maturity is smaller than that at 50% maturity. The L50 and L50_95 parameters are converted to ages using the growth parameters provided and used to construct a logistic curve to determine the proportion of the population that is mature in each age class. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive real numbers.

D

Estimated current level of stock depletion, which is defined as the current spawning stock biomass divided by the unfished spawning stock biomass. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. This parameter is used during model initialization to select a series of yearly historical recruitment values and fishing mortality rates that, based on the information provided, could have resulted in the specified depletion level in the simulated last historical year. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive real numbers (typically < 1)

a

The alpha parameter in allometric length-weight relationship. Single value. Weight parameters are used to determine catch-at-age and population-at-age from the number of individuals in each age class and the length of each individual, which is drawn from a normal distribution determined by the Linf, K, t0, and LenCV parameters. As a result, they function as a way to scale between numbers at age and biomass, and are not stochastic parameters. Single value. Positive real number.

b

The beta parameter in allometric length-weight relationship. Single value. Weight parameters are used to determine catch-at-age and population-at-age from the number of individuals in each age class and the length of each individual, which is drawn from a normal distribution determine by the Linf, K, t0, and LenCV parameters. As a result, they function as a way to scale between numbers at age and biomass, and are not stochastic parameters. Single value. Positive real number.

Size_area_1

The size of area 1 relative to area 2. The fraction of the unfished biomass in area 1. Please specify numbers between 0 and 1. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided.

Fishing can occur in both areas, or can be turned off in one area to simulate the effects of a no take marine reserve. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive real numbers.

Frac_area_1

The fraction of the unfished biomass in area 1. Please specify numbers between 0 and 1. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. For example, if Frac_area_1 is 0.5, then 50% of the unfished biomass is allocated to area 1, regardless of the size of area 1 (i.e, size and fraction in each area determine the density of fish, which may impact fishing spatial targeting). In each time step recruits are allocated to each area based on the proportion specified in Frac_area_1. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive real numbers.

Prob_staying

The probability of individuals in area 1 remaining in area 1 over the course of one year. Please specify numbers between 0 and 1. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. For example, in an area with a Prob_staying value of 0.95 each fish has a 95% probability of staying in that area in each time step, and a 5% probability of moving to the other area. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Positive fraction.

Fdisc

The instantaneous discard mortality rate the stock experiences when fished using the gear type specified in the corresponding fleet object and discarded. For each simulation a single value is drawn from a uniform distribution specified by the upper and lower bounds provided. Uniform distribution lower and upper bounds. Non-negative real numbers.

Turing Test

Description

Plots the available data in the Data object together with 5 samples of historical data from the Operating Model (OM) in a random order. The test is used to determine if the data generated by the OM is similar to the fishery data in the Data object. In a well specified OM the user should not be able to visually identify which of the 6 plots is the real fishery data and which are generated by the OM.'

Usage

Turing(OM, Data, wait = TRUE)

TuringMOM(multiHist, Data, wait = TRUE)

Arguments

OM

An object of class OM or class multiHist

Data

An object of class Data or a nested list of Data objects for each stock and fleet

wait

Logical. Wait for key press before next plot?

multiHist

An object of class multiHist. The output of SimulateMOM

Details

In its current form the Turing function does not interpolate missing data in the Data object. Therefore if there are years with missing data, say in the catch time-series, it will be obvious which are the real data and which have been generated by the model. Future versions of the function may include methods to impute missing data for plotting purposes.

The question to ask when examining the plots produced by Turing: do the plots of the 6 data samples look like they are all samples from the same underlying distribution?

Functions

  • TuringMOM(): Turing function for multi-stock, multi-fleet MOMs

Note

The Turing function was suggested by Andre Punt in his review of one of our recent projects. It is named after the Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, which is designed to see if a human can detect the difference between human and machine generated information.

Control list

A named list for control, for example, OM@cpars$control <- list(TAC = "removals", CAL = "removals"), can be specified to override default settings in the MSE simulation. Possible names in the control list are:

  • TAC Character, set to "removals" so that the TAC is applied to the sum of retained + discarded catch. Default only applies the TAC to the retained catch.

  • CAL Character, set to "removals" to sample the catch-at-length from retained + discarded catch. Default only samples from retained catch.

  • D Character, set to "VB" so that historical depletion OM@D corresponds to vulnerable biomass depletion (only used when OM@cpars$qs = NULL).

  • optVB Logical, set to TRUE so that historical depletion OM@D corresponds to vulnerable biomass depletion. Default sets depletion according to spawning biomasss when OM@cpars$qs = NULL.

  • optSBMSY Logical, set to TRUE such that OM@D corresponds to the ratio of spawning biomass to MSY. Default uses according to spawning biomass depletion (biomass relative to unfished levels).

  • Depletion Character, set to "end" such that historical depletion OM@D corresponds to the biomass at the end of the last projection year. Default corresponds to the value at the beginning of the last projection year.

  • ntrials Integer, set the number of iterations to sample the operating model to match the depletion to OM@D. Default is 50.

  • fracD Numeric, the maximum allowable proportion of simulations allowed to hit the bounds of the depletion parameter (simulation returns an error if exceeded). Default is 0.05.

  • checks Logical. If TRUE, plots depletion and SB/SBMSY figures and prints values to the R console to diagnose issues with operating model configuration with regards to depletion.

  • unfished Logical. If TRUE, returns historical simulations with F = 0.

  • progress Logical. If TRUE, updates progress bar through shiny::incProgress. Used in conjunction with Shiny apps.

  • maxiterF Integer, the number of iterations to solve for F in the projections from the specified TAC. Default is 300.

  • tolF Numeric, the tolerance for the catch relative to the TAC when solving for F in the projections. Default is 1e-4.

  • HZN Integer, the number of generations to solve for B_low. Default is 2. See getBlow().

  • Bfrac Numeric, proportion of SBMSY to solve for B_low. Default is 0.5. See getBlow().

  • skipdata Logical. If TRUE, skips conditioning on data in MOM@cpars[[p]][[f]]$Data. Only used in multiMSE().

  • HermEq Logical, whether the equilibrium population age structures in the multi-OM is generated from the hermaphroditism vector (intended for use in salmonMSE). Default is TRUE. Only used in multiMSE().

  • HistRel Logical, whether to perform the historical reconstruction with inter-stock relationships in MOM@Rel. Default is TRUE. Only used in multiMSE().
