Bpa | R Documentation |
Calculate the value of Bpa from Blim and sigmaB.
Bpa(Blim, sigmaB)
Blim |
the value of the Blim reference point. |
sigmaB |
the estimation uncertainty in B (standard error of logSSB in the terminal year). |
Value of Bpa.
The purpose of PA reference points is to apply a precautionary approach in fisheries management.
By comparing the current B to Bpa, one can answer the question: are we at least 95% sure that B is above Blim, given the estimation uncertainty?
The ICES (2017) technical guidelines define Bpa as:
B_\mathrm{pa} = B_\mathrm{lim} \exp(1.645\sigma_B)
