LBSPRSim: Per-Recruit Length-Based Spawning Potential Ratio Simulation Model
Description
Function that takes stock (biology) and fleet (selectivity and fishing mortality) parameters and returns expected equilibrum size strucure of the catch and spawning potential ratio.
The relative fishing mortality (F/M) and the selectivity-at-length parameters.
SizeBins
Optional - specifies the maximum length bin (ToSize) and the length increment of the binned length data (Linc). If empty, Linc = 5 and ToSize = Linf + MaxSD * SDLinf
P
Percentage of initial cohort still alive at maximum age.
Nage
Maximum age of generic age-strucured model. Not sensitive, unless set too low (e.g., < 50).
