9 Requirement for development of generic code Implement COBECOS theoretical approach on a case-study basis Each case-study has individual requirements Guidance can be provided Use bio-economic model versus Management Strategy Evaluation (MSE)– depends on resources, data, linkages to other projects. COBECOS requirements

10 Operating Model Computer simulation of complex "Reality" Assessment Computer simulation of sampling and assessment process Management Controls Computer simulation of management based on perception of the system Process errors are generated in the operating model. Data for assessments are generated with measurement error Estimation errors arise due to the assessment procedures. Assessment results in a Perceived system.

13 Pros/cons Multi-fleet (<3 stocks) Parameterisation Integrating COBECOS code Provides shadow value of biomass

14 Case studies which can/will undertake MSE currently as part of another project – EFIMAS Northern hake, CCAMLR, Ligurian, (Dutch), Channel (if stock)

15 Code for computation of ? –Derive Other functions? (regressions etc) Within case study: resources required! (dedication of participants – at case study level) Work-plan
