GB_target: Geromont and Butterworth target CPUE and catch MP

In DLMtool/DLMtool: Data-Limited Methods Toolkit

Description

An MP similar to SBT2 that modifies a time-series of catch recommendations and aims for target catch rate and catch level based on BMSY/B0 and MSY, respectively.

Usage

GB_target(x, Data, reps = 100, plot = FALSE, w = 0.5)

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?
w	A gain parameter

Details

The TAC is calculated as: If I_\textrm{recent} ≥q I_0:

\textrm{TAC}= C_\textrm{ref} ≤ft(w + (1-w)\frac{I_\textrm{rec}-I_0}{I_\textrm{target}-I_0} \right)

else:

\textrm{TAC}= wC_\textrm{ref} \frac{I_\textrm{rec}}{I_0}^2

where C_\textrm{ref} is a reference catch assumed to be a proxy for MSY (Data@Cref), w is a gain parameter, I_\textrm{rec} is the average index over the last 4 years, I_\textrm{target} is the target Index (Data@Iref), and I_0 is 0.2 x the average index over the past 5 years.

In the MSE C_\textrm{ref} is the calculated MSY subject to observation error defined in Obs@CV_Cref, and I_\textrm{target} is assumed to be the index at MSY subject to observation error (Obs@CV_Iref). Consequently, the performance of this method in the MSE is strongly determined by the specified uncertainty for these parameters.

The TAC is subject to the following conditions:

1. if next TAC > 1.2 last catch, then TAC = 1.2 last catch

2. if next TAC < 0.8 last catch, then TAC = 0.8 last catch

Value

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