openMSE Management Procedures

There are a large number of management procedures available in the three openMSE packages: MSEtool, DLMtool, and SAMtool.

All MPs are available when the openMSE package is loaded.

MSEtool MPs

The MSEtool package contains 5 reference MPs:

avail('MP', 'MSEtool')

## Searching for objects of class MP in package: MSEtool

## [1] "curEref"   "FMSYref"   "FMSYref50" "FMSYref75" "NFref"

These are indicated by the ‘ref’ in the MP name. Reference MPs do not have implementation error applied to them, and are typically used as a reference for the management performance that is possible under a range of idealized management scenarios (e.g., fishing exactly at \(F_{MSY}\) or some fraction of it).

DLMtool MPs

The DLMtool package contains 106 data-limited MPs:

The MPs in DLMtool are classified as data-limited MPs, as they do not include a stock assessment model, and in most cases do not fit a dynamic model to the fishery data (e.g., MPs are constant management recommendations or iterative index-tracking methods).

SAMtool MPs

The SAMtool package contains 12 data-moderate and data-rich MPs:

avail('MP', 'SAMtool')

## Searching for objects of class MP in package: SAMtool

##  [1] "DDSS_4010"  "DDSS_75MSY" "DDSS_MSY"   "SCA_4010"   "SCA_75MSY" 
##  [6] "SCA_MSY"    "SP_4010"    "SP_75MSY"   "SP_MSY"     "SSS_4010"  
## [11] "SSS_75MSY"  "SSS_MSY"

MPs in the SAMtool package include a stock assessment model (class Assess) and a harvest control rule (class HCR). See the Stock Assessment Models section and the SAMtool Help Documentation for more information.
