Operating Models

The Operating Model (OM) is the main component of the MSE framework.

The OM is used to describe the characteristics of a fishery system and contains all the parameters required to simulate the population and fleet dynamics, the collection of data, and the application of a management procedure (e.g., implement a size regulation, effort control, spatial closure, or catch limit).

An OM is built from four separate objects, each containing a set of parameter values for different aspects of the simulation:
