HCR_MSY: Harvest control rule to fish at some fraction of maximum...

In tcarruth/MSEtool: Management Strategy Evaluation Toolkit

Description

A simple control rule that specifies the total allowable catch (TAC) to be the product of current vulnerable biomass and UMSY.

Usage

HCR_MSY(Assessment, reps = 1, MSY_frac = 1, ...)

Arguments

Assessment	An object of class Assessment with estimates of FMSY or UMSY and vulnerable biomass in terminal year.
reps	The number of stochastic samples of the TAC recommendation.
MSY_frac	The fraction of FMSY or UMSY for calculating the TAC (e.g. MSY_frac = 0.75 fishes at 75% of FMSY).
...	Miscellaneous arguments.

Value

An object of class Rec with the TAC recommendation.

Examples

# create an MP to run in closed-loop MSE (fishes at UMSY)
DD_MSY <- make_MP(DD_TMB, HCR_MSY)
class(DD_MSY)

# The same MP which fishes at 75% of UMSY
DD_75MSY <- make_MP(DD_TMB, HCR_MSY, MSY_frac = 0.75)
class(DD_MSY)

## Not run: 
myOM <- DLMtool::runMSE(DLMtool::testOM, MPs = c("FMSYref", "DD_MSY"))

## End(Not run)
