Spatially and seasonnally explicit –A grid of cells of ices rectangles –From a yearly to a monthly time step Dynamic mixed fisheries –Multi-stocks –Multi-fleets displayed several metiers with effort by metier –Revenue computation by fleet by metier Dynamic management rules –TAC –MPA (total or partial closure) –Gear selectivity –… A bioeconomical model for mixed fisheries

‘Metier’ (e.g. FLMetier) a unique arrangement of a target species, a gear and a fishing zone ‘Fleet’ (e.g. FLSetOfVessels) Sets of vessels sharing physical characteristics and practising possible metiers following strategies. A strategy uses the same sequence of metiers over the year with partition of the fleet activity split up into metiers ‘Catch’ (e.g. FLCatch) store stock-specific parameters (catchability, etc.) and catches, landings and discards for each metier ‘FLCostMetier’ & ‘FLCostFleet’ various input economical costs at fleet or at metier level ‘FLGear’, ‘FLDiscards’, ‘FLMarkets’, ‘FLCost’, etc. store the gear properties (selectivity, standard factor, etc.)

fleet model code steps from ‘Isis-Fish’ At each time step, explicit calculation of effort

fleet model code steps from ‘Isis-Fish’ uniformly distributing the effort by metier over cells of metier zones At each time steps, on each metier zones: Computing fishing mortality F by metier by species Computing fishing mortality F by stock to link with biological model Computing catches, landings & discards by fleet by metier by stock

Economical model code steps Static or dynamic model (i.e. optimization of the activity partition depending on the specific revenue of the metiers) Computing stock price from markets Computing revenue from total landings of each metier adding revenue from other species (i.e. not explicitly simulated)

Economical model code steps Is it the same for spanish fleets??

Other metiers, other species adding revenue from other species (i.e. not explicitly simulated) adding revenue from other non-described metiers of the fleet

Dynamic allocation of effort Static effort partition into metiers according to an activity calendar from data analysis (see TECTAC report) Dynamic allocation at each time step using: A Random Utility Model If ‘i’ a particular choice (e.g. a metier), with x1, x2 explicative variables (pastVPUE, travelTime, etc.) and beta1, beta2, etc. parameters assessed using likelihood maximization on trip data

Biological model code steps Computing step to step class change from Bertalanffy’s relationship Applying migration coefficients between zones If reproduction period, computing egg production Computing egg mortality If recruitment period, compute new recruited Applying fishing mortality F stock from multi-fleet model Uniformly redistributing the abundance on zones At each time step, depending on zones: class change migrations reproduction recrutement t+1t+εt natural & fishing mortality redistribution on zones

Management rules : example for MPA If MPA is enabled, feedback on fleet effort (fishermen’s response): The activity of the possible metier is reallocated to the remaining cells of the metier zone If all metier cells are closed for a given metier, the activity of the concerned metier is reallocated to other possible metiers of the fleet If all metier cells are closed for all possible metiers, the activity of the concerned fleet is set to 0 Dynamic effort allocation depending on total or partial zone closure (e.g. a forbidden gear or metier, etc.)
