Summary: | Biology and fisheries of the Norwegian spring spawning herring and blue whiting in the Northeast Atlantic. Proceedings of the fourth Soviet-Norwegian Symposium. Bergen, 12 - 16 June 1989. HM2 represents an intermediate, experimental stage of a model that is being developed with the double purpose of being used as an independent single species model for the Norwegian Spring Spawning Herring and of being integrated into the Multispecies Model for the Barents sea (MULTSPEC). The paper describes its development history, and the presently used algorithms for maturation, recruitment, and growth are described and discussed, as well as its input and output options. A brief outline is given of the plans for further development of the model.
