Management Strategy Evaluation for the Indian Ocean Tuna Albacore Stock

This document presents the current status of development of the technical platform, and a set of initial results, for the Management Strategy Evaluation of the Indian Ocean albacore tuna stock. The work includes the development of a reference case Operating Model for the stock, an open source computational platform for the evaluation of alternative Management Procedures, an initial set of simulations for two MPs, and the presentation and output for inspection and analysis of the results. The Operating Model is based around the Stock Synthesis stock assessment conducted by WPTmT in 2016 and incorporates the main sources of uncertainty identified in the estimation of population trajectories and dynamics.
