Trial Specifications Document
South Atlantic Albacore MSE
1 Introduction
This Trial Specifications Document (TSD) describes the design and technical details of the Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE) of South Atlantic albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga; SALB), including the operating models, candidate management procedures, and performance metrics used to evaluate them.
The TSD is a living document that will be updated as the MSE progresses to reflect the current state of the analysis.
For more information on the South Atlantic Albacore (SALB) MSE process see the project homepage.
1.1 About the SALB MSE
The SALB MSE is built and maintained by Blue Matter Science using the openMSE framework.
The analysis is fully reproducible: all code, functions, and objects used to build the operating models, candidate management procedures, and performance indicators are available in associated GitHub repository.
To reproduce the analysis, download the GitHub repository] and work through the scripts in the analysis directory.
