A function to calculate the total allowable catch (TAC). Based on the MSY (maximum
sustainable yield) principle, the TAC is the product of
either UMSY or FMSY and the available biomass, i.e. vulnerable biomass, in terminal year.
Usage
TAC_MSY(Assessment, reps, MSY_frac = 1)
Arguments
- Assessment
An Assessment object with estimates of UMSY or FMSY and
terminal year vulnerable biomass.
- reps
The number of stochastic draws of UMSY or FMSY.
- MSY_frac
The fraction of FMSY or UMSY for calculating the TAC (e.g. MSY_frac = 0.75 fishes at 75% of FMSY).
Value
A vector of length reps of stochastic samples of TAC recommendation. Returns NA's
if missing either UMSY/FMSY or vulnerable biomass.
Note
calculate_TAC is deprecated as of version 1.2 in favor of TAC_MSY because
the latter has a more informative name.
