Introduction

ypr is an R package that
implements equilibrium-based yield per recruit methods. Yield per
recruit methods can used to estimate the optimal yield (Walters and
Martell 2004) of a fish population with one or more ecotypes. The yield
can be based on the number of fish caught (or harvested) or biomass for
all fish or just large (trophy) individuals.

The key life history parameters are

  • The growth coefficient (k) and mean maximum length (Linf) from the
    Von Bertalanffy growth curve
  • The length at which 50% mature (Ls)
  • The length at which 50% vulnerable to harvest (Lv)
  • The annual interval natural mortality rate (n)
  • The lifetime number of spawners per spawner at low density (Rk)

and in the case of ecotypes

  • The relative proportion of recruits that belong to that ecotype
    (RPR)

The calculations do not account for stochasticity, predator-prey
dynamics, angler responses or density-dependent growth.

Demonstration

Schedule

library(ypr)
population <- ypr_population(Rk = 5, Ls = 50, Rmax = 100, rho = 0.6)
ypr_plot_schedule(population, x = "Length", y = "Spawning")
