Description
Management Strategy Evaluation for Salmon Species.
Description
Simulation tools to evaluate the long-term effects of salmon management strategies, including a combination of habitat, harvest, and habitat actions. The stochastic age-structured operating model accommodates complex life histories, including freshwater survival across early life stages, juvenile survival and fishery exploitation in the marine life stage, partial maturity by age class, and fitness impacts of hatchery programs on natural spawning populations. 'salmonMSE' also provides an age-structured conditioning model to develop operating models fitted to data.

Management Strategy Evaluation for Salmon Species
salmonMSE is a decision-support tool for Pacific salmon focusing on strategic trade-offs among harvest, hatchery and habitat management levers.
Funding for the development of salmonMSE is provided through the Pacific Salmon Strategy Initiative in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Installation
salmonMSE can be downloaded from CRAN with:
