Simulate Total Allowable Catch Projections — simulate

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.

Usage

simulate_TAC(
  hcr_F,

)

Arguments

hcr_F: fishing mortality rate identified by HCR
naa: numbers-at-age vector (dimensions [1, nages, nsexes, nregions])
recruitment: projected recruitment in next year
dem_params: demographic parameter matrices subsetted to 1 year
hcr_options: list of additional management options such as stability constraints and harvest caps
options: list of additional ABC/TAC simulation options such as ABC-TAC reduction levels and attainment functions.
join_sel: joint fishery selectivity
hist_tac: TAC from the previous year
