HCR_MSY: Harvest control rule to fish at some fraction of maximum sustainable yield

Description

A simple control rule that specifies the total allowable catch (TAC) to be the product of current vulnerable biomass and UMSY.

Usage

HCR_MSY(Assessment, reps = 1, MSY_frac = 1, ...)

Arguments

Assessment

An object of class '>Assessment with estimates of FMSY or UMSY and vulnerable biomass in terminal year.

reps

The number of stochastic samples of the TAC recommendation.

MSY_frac

The fraction of FMSY or UMSY for calculating the TAC (e.g. MSY_frac = 0.75 fishes at 75% of FMSY).

...

Miscellaneous arguments.

Value

An object of class '>Rec with the TAC recommendation.
