operating models definition: A core component of the management strategy evaluation (MSE) process used to test a harvest strategy. The OM simulates all relevant aspects of the harvest strategy so that the effects of alternative strategies can be measured and compared. Typically, the OM includes the resource/ecosystem dynamics, the observation process, the assessment process, the management decision process and the implementation of the management decision. Uncertainties in each of these processes are included. Multiple OMs based on varying assumptions are often used within a single MSE process to test the robustness of alternative harvest strategies.
In a new blog, Shana Miller talks ideas to mitigate the threat that unresolved allocation debates pose to #harveststrategy success in the Indian Ocean. #IOTC needs a near-term solution for skipjack and bigeye, and fortunately, there may be one available. https://harveststrategies.org/blog/2023/03/16/who-gets-a-slice-of-the-pie-harvest-strategy-implementation-in-the-indian-ocean/

International fishery management is built from the ground up! Last month, the USA held a stakeholder meeting to discuss details of a harvest control rule for North Pacific albacore for adoption at WCPFC and IATTC this year. #fisheries
