6 months ago Updated! But noting that the SS_to_AGEPRO.R file is hardwired to use the mid-year WAA data if the user selects the User Specified option. We will need to generalize it to give the user an option to input their own if they don't want mid-year or Jan-1 (which is the other built-in option).
Currently, the 013_BuildAGEPROinputfile.R and Build_Input_File.R scripts output the SSB mean weights at age set equal to the mean stock weights at age. The mean stock weights are equal to the begin-year weights (January 1st) and correspond to fish aged Year-0.5. The spawning stock (SSB) weights need to be set to equal the mid-year (July 1st) weights at age to correspond to the spawning season. To date, I have been manually adjusting the SSB weights to equal the mid-year weights.
