Outline of an alternative projection approach to evaluate recent conservation measures recommended by ICCAT to reduce mortality for North Atlantic shortfin mako

An alternative projection approach may be useful to evaluate the effectiveness of recent conservation measures recommended by ICCAT to reduce North Atlantic shortfin mako shark mortality in association with ICCAT Fisheries. An outline of an alternative projection approach is presented which combines output from an uncertainty grid of multiple Stock Synthesis model sensitivity runs with forward projection using a software package (FLasher) developed for the Fisheries Library in R (FLR).
