3 generations is very long... but virtually all models put P30 from 1937 at near 1.0 probability I believe
Define the generation time to be 1/M + 50% maturity age = 46 years (M = 0.074, maturity = 33 years)
Are we using the models or indices for COSEWIC metric A?
Indices don’t go very far back, but perhaps we could do both, since even the recent indexes are fairly steep and that provides a second line of evidence that doesn’t require buying into the whole assessment.
Modified from the inside yelloweye resdoc:
COSEWIC Metric A measures the probability that the stock has declined by 70%, 50% and 30% after three generations
P70 - Probability that, on average, the stock declined below 70% of B1937 over three generations, where generation time is 38 years and probability is calculated as P[1 − B_recent/B1937 > 0.7].
COSEWIC Metric E measures the probability of future extinction of the stock. A stock is designated as endangered if the probability of extinction is 20% within 20 years (or five generations, whichever is longer) and threatened if there is a 10% probability of extinction within 10 years. Criteria E is seldom applied to marine fishes, due to heavy reliance on data, and assumptions about parameters required as inputs to population viability analyses (Ross Claytor, COSEWIC, pers.comm, January 29, 2020). Another requirement for estimating extinction risk involves setting the threshold for extinction, which is not explicitly defined in the COSEWIC criteria (COSEWIC 2015).
In order to evaluate the probability of future extinction under candidate MPs, stock-specific extinction thresholds must be assigned. Below these thresholds the stock would be considered functionally extirpated or extinct. We propose two candidate extinction thresholds of 2%B0 and 5%B0.
