  2. ALADYM GENERAL FRAMEWORK (EU FISBOAT-Fisheries Independent Survey Based Operational Assessment Tools) ALADYM (Age-Length Based Dynamic Model) is designed to predict, through simulations, the consequences of management scenarios, in terms of different metrics and indicators. Removals are simulated on the basis of the total mortality rate modulated using selectivity pattern and a fishing activity coefficient. Aladym can work in absence of fishery-dependent data, although its predictive capability of real catch levels can be verified using information referred to the commercial catches or fishing activity per month.

  3. ALADYM TOOLS • The Aladym model is composed of two complementary tools: • the quasi-deterministic dynamic tool defined as Aladym-r; • the stochastic dynamic tool defined as Aladym-q. • The tool B) Aladym-qadds to the same mathematical model of Aladym-r the capability to deal with the stochastic representation of some input parameters in order to evaluate the corresponding distribution functions of the output variables. • This feature aims to build up a procedure suited to associate to indicators and/or reference points a probability.

  4. Harvest control rules The simulation approach is used as a tool to convert survey biological information and relative assessment into quantitative HCRs. The options implemented in the simulation model are based on total mortality, gear selectivity (size at first capture L50% and selection range) and fishing activity (alone or in combination). The effects of HCRs (based on total mortality and selectivity) are then analysed in terms of sustainability for the population in the long-term (e.g. the ratio SSB/USSB given in the outputs). Yield by time is also simulated using the catch equation

  5. THE QUASI-DETERMINISTIC DYNAMIC TOOL ALADYM R 06 The population dynamics is formulated following the simultaneous evolution of several cohorts at month scale through the exponential population decline model, both in absence and in presence of fishing mortality The model is designed to simulate population dynamics of a given species accounting for differences by sex in growth, maturity and mortality. All the quantities are calculated as vectors with an associated time step Δt (time slice=1 month).

  6. B. THE STOCHASTIC DYNAMIC TOOL ALADYM Q 06 FRAMEWORK

  7. INPUTS • von Bertalanffy growth parameters by sex with associated variability; • length-weight relationship parameters by sex; • maturity ogive parameters by sex (Lm50% and Lm25%-Lm75% range); • natural mortality by sex (a constant value or a vector); • seed values (minimum, maximum, log-mean and log-standard deviation) of recruitment by sex; • proportion of offsprings entering in the stock by month; • stock-recruitment relationship parameters or a vector of recruit number by month with associated variability; • time elapsing from spawning to birth; • sex-ratio (female/total) at initial time; • total mortality Z by sex; • selection ogive parameters of the gear used by the fleet; • fishing activity coefficient by month (0, in case of absence of fishing activity); • In Aladym-q the following inputs are also provided: • the number of realizations; • the parameters of the defined pdfs.
