Abstract
This work describes a size-structured management strategy evaluation tool that was developed to test alternate management procedures (MP) against commercial and recreational objectives for south Atlantic black sea bass (Centropristis striata) and Atlantic cobia (Rachycentron canadum) over multiple states of mean recruitment and rates of natural mortality, respectively. The framework was extended to develop a proof-of-concept management strategy evaluation for US Caribbean yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus crysurus) to explore robustness of status quo MPs to recruitment nonstationarity. This presentation will cover both applications.
