The rebuilding plans for overfished west coast groundfish resources developed by the Pacific Fishery Management Council, PFMC, include rebuilding analyses. These provide much of the biological information on which the Council can base its decisions regarding the time to rebuild to the biomass at which MSY is achieved, the probability of recovery to this biomass, and the catches expected under the rebuilding plan for different levels of probability.
The Scientific and Statistics Committee of the PFMC has developed guidelines for conducting rebuilding analyses, which have been used as the basis for developing software for this purpose. The attached ZIP file includes an executable file to conduct rebuilding analyses, an example input file, a spreadsheet to display the results, and documentation for the software. The FORTRAN code for the rebuilding analysis is available on request from Andre Punt. Note that all the normal disclaimers apply when using this software.
