MSE of the performance of data-moderate assessment methods for U.S. West Coast groundfish Chantell Wetzel Data-Moderate STAR Panel April 23-28, 2013
Outline • Description of Assessment Models • DCAC, DB-SRA, exDB-SRA, and exSSS (AIS) • MSE Simulation Setup • Operating model • Projection Period • Results • Rockfish • Cases 1, 3, and 6 • Flatfish • Cases 1, 3, and 6
Description of Models • exDB-SRA • Data: Index of Abundance • Delay-Difference Model • Knife-edged selectivity set at age of maturity for fishery & survey • Parameters: • M, Fmsy/M, Delta fixed year ( = 1-depletion), Bmsy/B0 • Estimates B0 • Results: Stochastic* • DB-SRA • Parameters: • M, Fmsy/M, Delta fixed year (=1-depletion), Bmsy/B0 • Results: Stochastic • exSSS • Data: Index of Abundance • Age-Structured • Knife-edged selectivity set at age of maturity for fishery & survey • Parameters • M, steepness, depletion in a fixed year • Estimates R0 • Results: Deterministic • DCAC • Parameters: • M, Fmsy/M, Delta fixed year (=1-depletion), Bmsy/B0 • Results: Stochastic
Operating Model • Age-Structured Operating Model • Two Life-History Types • Flatfish • Rockfish • Recruitment • Shepherd’s Stock Recruit Relationship • Process Error: Recruitment Deviations • Single Fishery • Begins in year 1 with the operating model population in non-equilibrium • Single Survey • Observation Error • CV = 0.25

Adaptive Importance Sampling • Create initial parameter sets • Fix parameters in the assessment model and solve for R0 or B0 that meets the final depletion value under the assumed dynamics. • Sample from the initial parameter set based on the weights: • Regenerate parameter vectors using a multivariate student’s T distribution based on the drawn parameters • Rerun the assessment model with each of the new parameter sets • Repeat steps 2-4 until the entropy criteria (e > 0.92)is met: • Create a large final sample from the parameter sets that met the entropy criterion. • Run the assessment model for the final time with the final parameter sets.

Conclusions • There are some advantages of exDB-SRA and exSSS over the data-limited methods; DCAC and DB-SRA • Mis-specifications • exDB-SRA generally performs better for the rockfish life-history compared to flatfish • exSSS rebuilds both life-histories towards or above the target quickly
