WorkPackage 2. Age based forecast model.

The N-Prost Excel and Visual Basic based model will be extended so that several alternatives HCRs can be tested in MSE. We will as far as is possible use the current R code based MSE models from ICES and extend these with density dependent modules for growth, maturity and cannibalism. Dependent of the outcome of WP4 also other type of density dependent natural mortality will be included.
