BK_CC: Beddington and Kirkwood life-history method combined with catch curve analysis

Description

Calculates an OFL using a catch curve estimate of current F and an approximation of FMSY based on length at first capture.

Usage

BK_CC(x, Data, reps = 100, Fmin=0.005)

Arguments

x

Position in a data-limited methods data object

Data

A data-limited methods data object (class Data)

reps

The number of samples of the TAC recommendation

Fmin

The minimum fishing mortality rate that is derived from the catch-curve (interval censor)
