Introduction

Completing the OM Documentation

This document is used to generate a HTML OM report document.

The document is separated into 7 sections: 1. Introduction (this section) 2. Custom Parameters (optional) 3. Stock Parameters 4. Fleet Parameters 5. Obs (Observation) Parameters 6. Imp (Implementation) Parameters 7. References

The Introduction section is used to briefly describe the fishery and the details of the Operating Model. It should include an explanation for the OM parameters: * nsim: the number of simulations. * proyears: the number of projectio years. * interval: the management interval. * pstar: the percentile of the sample of the management recommendation for each method. * maxF: the maximum instantaneous fishing mortality rate that may be simulated for any given age class. * reps: the number of samples of the management recommendation for each method.

The Custom Parameters section is optional and should only be included if the cpars feature of DLMtool is used in the OM. Delete both the heading and the text in this section if cpars are not used.

The Stock, Fleet, Obs, and Imp sections include each slot in these components of the OM object. Provide details (including references where applicable) for the choice of values for each slot below the corresponding slot name (e.g., ## M). For example: M An explanation for the values of the natural mortality rate in the OM (Smith et al. 1999).

You do not need to include the actual values from the OM. These will be included automatically in the final compiled document.

References should be included in the ‘References’ section at the end of the document.

Once complete, this text file will be compiled into an OM Report Document. This text file is linked to the Excel spreadsheet that was generated with the same file name. It serves as a single documentation source for a DLMtool OM, and should be updated whenever parameter values in the OM spreadsheet are updated.
