Greetings Stock Synthesis users,
Today we are releasing the newest version of Stock Synthesis. The
release notes are attached.
This version contains three significant new features that are fully
described in the release notes:
-
A
new fleet type (4) provides the capability to define an entity
as a predator that adds the predation mortality to the base
natural mortality.
-
A
new Fleet-specific F method = 4. With this approach, some fleets
can stay in hybrid F mode while others transition to parameters.
Method 4 is now a recommended superset of methods 2 and 3.
-
An
option to produce output for F at Blimit, where Blimit is a
fraction of Bmsy.
If you try out any of these new features, we would like to hear from
you about your experience. Suggestions for further augmentation and
new issues are always welcome.
You will notice that the development work is now principally at our
NOAA github site: https://github.com/nmfs-stock-synthesis and
some of our VLAB links will take you there for details.
Rick and the SS Team
