We
developed 2 types of models
1) SCAA model--uses
user supplied inputs and iteratively
solves for population parameters like M, F,
Z, abundance, SSB….
2) Projection model--uses last year’s output from SCAA model to predict population parameters into the future (2020 in our case). Also allows user to alter projection parameters (i.e. effort).
We
developed both model types for each modeled area
