ypr
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 for a fish
population (Walters and Martell 2004). 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 interval annual natural mortality rate (
n
) - The lifetime number of spawners per spawner at low density (
Rk
)
The calculations do not account for stochasticity, predator-prey dynamics, angler responses or density-dependent growth.
A shiny app is available at https://poissonconsulting.shinyapps.io/shinyypr/.

ypr_plot_schedule(population, x = "Length", y = "Spawning")
