Hello Yevhen,
I'm glad to see you using Stock Synthesis. Let me try to add to the
good answers that Max has already provided.
In this line of output:
Yr Seas Seas_dur F_std annual_F annual_M 1_fleet 2_fleet 3_fleet

The fleet specific F's are apical F's in the case of continuous F,
and are fleet-specific exploitation fractions in the case of Pope's.
The annual F is calculated as Z - M for the ages you selected. It is
done the same way for Pope's or continuous F. Even with Pope's, SS
still calculates Z(a) from ln(survivors/N(a)).
The fleet-specific apical values cannot be strictly additive to get
the annual_F because the annual_F is for a range of ages and the
fleet-specific values are for varied ages depending on fleet-specific selectivity.
We do very little work with Pope's approach so it is possible that
some aspect of the F reporting is not quite right when you are using
that approach to calculate the fishing intensity. So, if you continue
to see values that cannot be reconciled, please send more questions.
I have added a document that has more info on F, but it does not
address Pope's.
