Bias when re-fitting data

Dear SS3 team,

In order to work on an MSE (management strategy evaluation), I am doing the exercise of taking the output file (data_expval.ss) and using it as the input data file (naming it as ss3.dat). When I compare the original results to these "re-fitted" results, there is a quite high bias, up to a 20% for the las year SSB. I checked for convergence issues, and I did the jittering exercise, but it seems there is are no convergece problems. I also simulated some error to add to the data_expval.ss values, but the biased results remain similar.  

Is this bias something expected or can it be related to the SS model configuration?

I attach a figure comparing results and the model files.

Thank you!
