Data-rich Operating Models can be constructed by importing directly from the output of common stock assessment frameworks.

The Custom Parameters slot (OM@cpars) is populated with the fisheries dynamics estimated by the stock assessment model and the openMSE simulation model reproduces these dynamics when simulating the historical spool-up period.

Import a Stock Synthesis 3 assessment

There are several functions associated with importing from a Stock Synthesis 3 stock assessment model:

1. SS2OM: import a Stock Synthesis 3 stock assessment model.
2. SS2Data: import a Data Object from a directory with SS3 input and output files.
3. plot_SS2OM: generates a markdown (HTML) report to compare the OM and SS3 output.
4. SS2MOM: import a multi-stock/multi-fleet operating model (MOM) from SS3 output.
5. plot_SS2MOM: generates a markdown (HTML) report to compare the MOM and SS3 output.

See Importing from SS3 for more information on importing OM, MOM, and Data objects from Stock Synthesis 3 output.

Import a iSCAM assessment

There are two functions associated with importing from a iSCAM stock assessment model:

1. iSCAM2OM: import a fitted iSCAM model
2. iSCAM2Data: import a Data Object from a fitted iSCAM model.

See ?iSCAM2OM or the relevant MSEtool documentation page for more information.

Import a generic assessment

The Assess2OM function reads bootstrap estimates from a VPA-type stock assessment and imports into an operating model. See ?Assess2OM or the relevant MSEtool documentation page for more information.
