Simulate Total Allowable Catch Projections #' Determine the total allowable catch (TAC) in the next simulation year based on the fishing mortality rate identified by a harvest control rule (HCR). TAC is computed by projecting the population forward one year under the specific level of F and computing the the amount of catch that would be taken from that projected population structure based on the joint fishery selectivity curve.
