LstepCC1: Step-wise Constant Catch

In zanbi/DLMtool: Data-Limited Methods Toolkit

Description

A management procedure that incrementally adjusts the TAC according to the mean length of recent catches.

Usage

LstepCC1(
  x,
  Data,
  reps = 100,
  plot = FALSE,
  yrsmth = 5,
  xx = 0,
  stepsz = 0.05,
  llim = c(0.96, 0.98, 1.05)
)

LstepCC2(
  x,
  Data,
  reps = 100,
  plot = FALSE,
  yrsmth = 5,
  xx = 0.1,
  stepsz = 0.05,
  llim = c(0.96, 0.98, 1.05)
)

LstepCC3(
  x,
  Data,
  reps = 100,
  plot = FALSE,
  yrsmth = 5,
  xx = 0.2,
  stepsz = 0.05,
  llim = c(0.96, 0.98, 1.05)
)

LstepCC4(
  x,
  Data,
  reps = 100,
  plot = FALSE,
  yrsmth = 5,
  xx = 0.3,
  stepsz = 0.05,
  llim = c(0.96, 0.98, 1.05)
)

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?
yrsmth	Years over which to calculate mean length.
xx	Parameter controlling the fraction of mean catch to start using in first year
stepsz	Parameter controlling the size of update increment in TAC or effort.
llim	A vector of length reference points that determine the conditions for increasing, maintaining or reducing the TAC or effort.

Details

The TAC is calculated as:

where \textrm{TAC}^* is (1-xx) times average catch in the first year, and previous catch in all projection years, S is step-size determined by stepsz, and r is the ratio of L_\textrm{recent} and L_\textrm{ave} which are mean length over the most recent yrsmth years and 2 x yrsmth historical years respectively.

The conditions are specified in the llim argument to the function.

Value

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

Functions

• LstepCC1: The least biologically precautionary TAC-based MP.

• LstepCC2: More biologically precautionary than LstepCC1 (xx = 0.1)

• LstepCC3: More biologically precautionary than LstepCC2 (xx = 0.2)

• LstepCC4: The most precautionary TAC-based MP.
