Georges Bank Yellowtail Flounder • Base • Similar to TRAC 2007 Major Change results • Change_catch • Increase_M • Increase_q • Purpose: test models under conditions known to produce retrospective patterns in VPA
GB yt basic setup • Years 1973-2006 (34 years) • Ages 1-15, 6+ • Lengths 1-70 cm • 2 market categories • 2 surveys (CVs 50%, 40%) • CV on landings 1% • Growth stdevs 4.0 initial, 1.5 projection • Von B params 50, 0.33, -0.75 • 50% Mature ~30 cm • Selectivity flat-topped, 50% selected 29 cm • M = 0.2 • F high all years (0.6-1.9)
GB yt test cases • Change_catch • L-W equation in samples reduced approx in half for 1995-2006 • causes missing catch in recent years • Increase_M • M increased from 0.2 to 0.5 1995-2006 all ages • Increase_q • All indices q tripled 1995-2006
ASPIC • No contrast between catch and CPUE (inability to estimate SPmax) • One way trip (inability to estimate depletion in first year) • True for all simulated data sets, no acceptable results
Precision (SSB and F) • AIM: ~ 0.2-0.3, did not vary by case • SCALE: 0.1-0.4 (increased with retros) • VPA*: <0.05 (incr. in final year), did not vary • ASAP: <0.05 (incr. in final year), did not vary *VPA CVs are for age-specific SSB, F
GBYT Conclusions • Small amount of bias in base case (only 100 simulated data sets?) • All models failed on retro cases, but AIM matched ‘replacement yield’ beyond 1st window in retro years • Increasing M and incr. q both had opposing effects on SSB and F (but acted in diff. direction) • Chg. Catch created “spike” in F just prior to reduced catch • General pattern
VPA ASAP
PopSim GBYT Final Realization • Ran VPA and ASAP retrospective analyses for GBYT Inc_M, Inc_q, and Change_catch final realizations • Same data given to each model • PopSim results show both are biased • Do both show a retro? Yes
