Software downloads Von Bertalanffy Growth model with Random Effects Rebuilding Analyses 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 Statistical Committee of the PFMC has developed guidelines for conducting rebuilding analyses, and these guidelines have been used as the basis for developing software for this purpose. A ZIP file can be downloaded that includes an executable file for the latest version of the software (Version 2.7c; September 2003), an example input file, a spreadsheet to display the results, and documentation for the software.
