George Bank Cod • Base • Similar to GARM2005 assessment • Fleet_dome • Survey_dome • Survey_and_Fleet_dome • Purpose: test models ability to estimate correctly when doming occurs
GB cod basic setup • Years 1978-2005 (27 years) • Ages 1-25, 10+ • Lengths 1-170 cm • 3 market categories • 3 surveys (CVs 20%, 30%, 25%) • CV on landings 5% • Growth stdevs 5.0 initial, 2.0 projection • Von B params 148.2, 0.1198, -0.6173 • 50% Mature ~42 cm • Selectivity flat-topped, 50% selected 64 cm • M = 0.2 • F high (0.5-2.4) then reduced in final years (0.48, 0.35)
GB cod test cases • Fleet_dome • Moved ascending limb of selectivity curve left to allow for nearly full selectivity at peak of dome
GB cod test cases • Survey_dome • Each survey mirrored for descending limb of selectivity curve at age 7
AIM Issues with low (or no) sampling in some years
SCALE Issues with very low sampling in some years
VPA (SSB) Poor performance for ages>6
VPA (FAA) Poor performance for ages>6
Precision (SSB and F) • AIM: ~ 0.1, did not vary by case • SCALE: 0.2-0.5 (increased with retros) • VPA*: 0.05-0.4 (poor ages>6), did not vary • ASAP: <0.05, did not vary *VPA CVs are for age-specific SSB, F
GB Cod Conclusions • Simulation set-up precluded model comparisons for AIM, ASPIC, and SCALE • Between VPA and ASAP, bias was similar, but VPA estimates at age degraded faster than ASAP; ASAP more precise • Dome not an issue for survey because of age-specific indices (rather than age comp. for total N index) • Dome effect in fleet probably minimized because of large simulated F (fewer older fish, so misspecifying those selectivities added little bias)
