Stock Assessment Methods Toolkit

Simulation tools for closed-loop simulation are provided for the 'MSEtool' operating model to inform data-rich fisheries. 'SAMtool' provides a conditioning model, assessment models of varying complexity with standardized reporting, model-based management procedures, and diagnostic tools for evaluating assessments inside closed-loop simulation.

SAMtool

The Stock Assessment Methods toolkit (SAMtool) is a collection of assessment methods and management procedures that have been developed for more data-intensive applications. This package includes the Rapid Conditioning Model for conditioning operating models in data-moderate and data-rich fisheries.

SAMtool is part of the openMSE collection of packages.

You can learn more about the openMSE packages at the openMSE documentation site.
