There will be some reservations about a low state of nature associated with a higher biomass than the base model, so M = 0.3 may be the better choice after all. I'm not sure it meets the criterion for a lower 25% probability, but we can discuss that with the panel tomorrow.
Evidence that the low state models are pretty low is provided by projections with ACL catch as calculated from the north base using script I'll discuss in #154 as illustrated by this figure (forgot to update caption text using new feature):

@iantaylor-NOAA can we close this issue or is there information that needs to make it into the document?
I think this was just left open until we had documented our states of nature for the north model in the report, which didn't get done until a few weeks after the STAR.
Request:
For the northern model, develop model runs that might encompass the different types of both observational and structural uncertainty by 1) excluding fishery dependent age data from a model and, 2) running a model with sex-specific selectivity (as in model 420) to capture the "process" uncertainty. Include in the comparison plots and tables the model run in which M is fixed at 0.3 for females.
Rationale:
Model sensitivities without the age data had the best fit to length data and indices, while the model with sex-specific selectivity implemented as freeing up descending limbs of the selectivity curve had the best overall fit to the data. The results of each also bracket a wide range of possible model outcomes.
