Evaluation of potential rebuilding strategies for outside yelloweye rockfish in British Columbia / Sean P. Cox, Beau Doherty, Ashleen J Benson, Samuel D.N. Johnson, and Dana R. Haggarty.: Fs70-5/2020-069E-PDF

"This paper aims to provide advice on rebuilding Outside Yelloweye Rockfish (OYE) using a combination of stakeholder-manager-science consultations and closed-loop simulation modelling to test performance of a set of candidate management procedures (MPs) against specific quantitative objectives. The overall approach aims to expose the ecological and fishery consequences of specific analytical (e.g., data collection, assessment methods) and management choices (e.g., harvest control rules, target fishing mortality rates) for Yelloweye rebuilding. The key components of this work are: (i) development of two-stock hierarchical age-structured operating models for OYE that represent a range of hypotheses about natural mortality and exploitation history, (ii) testing MPs comprised of monitoring data, assessments, and harvest control rules (HCR) used to implement rebuilding policies, and (iii) evaluating performance measures that are used in determining the expected conservation performance of alternative MPs relative to stated rebuilding objectives"--Abstract, page viii.
