Fratio_CC: A data-limited method that uses FMSY/M ratio and a naive catch-curve estimate of recent Z

Description

Calculates the OFL based on a fixed ratio of FMSY to M and a catch curve estimate of current stock size.

Usage

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

Arguments

x

A position in data-limited methods data object

Data

A data-limited methods data object

reps

The number of TAC samples

Fmin

Minimum current fishing mortality rate for the catch-curve analysis
