Stock Synthesis executables for version 3.30.08.02 dated 2017-09-26 are available for 64-bit Windows. Soon we will get the update for OS X and Linux uploaded.
Changes in this update include:
· Add information on catchability and selectivity options to control.ss_new. The *.ss_new files are your friend as they show the full range of input options available for a SS feature.
· In forecast.ss, if the relative F input option is 2, then replace the season (row) x fleet (column) matrix of input by a list, with rows containing season, fleet, relative F. Terminate list with a row containing -9999 as the season value.
Bug fixes include
· Restore disabled age-specific K. This allows an age’s growth K to be a multiplier times the K for next youngest age. The null value is 1.0.
· Fix a growth calculation that erred if the age at settlement was not set to 0, so an uncommon problem.
· Fix some code sections that still needed fishing fleets to precede survey fleets in rank order, so an uncommon issue. This necessitated the change to a conditional forecast specification for the relative F among fleets (also uncommon). Note that if tag-recapture is used, there still is a requirement to have fishing fleets listed first. This will be addressed soon in a larger change to the tag-recapture section.
· Fix the year range of environmental data output to data-ss_new
The SS 3.30 Change Log, which is available in the Document Library, has more information. We updated the user manual to reflect these changes.
The next release will be in a couple of weeks and will address a much streamlined input format for tag-recapture parameters.
