Description
Summary:Estimates of stock size using ADAPT (Gavaris, 1988) are presented to assist the WG in addressing the FC request on evaluation of alternate assessment models as applied to this stock. We present and compare two series of analyses; each produced using the two F-constraint options available when using a catch-at-age matrix having a plus-group. We also explore the sensitivity of the model output to variations in the F-constraints considered and provide results of two separate retrospective analyses.
