| Menu | Item | What It Does |
| File | Print Map.. | Prints the current screen. |
| Mouse Tool | Opens a dialog box for setting mouse button controls. | |
| Exit | Exits CRiSP Harvest. | |
| Fishery | PNV.. | Opens a dialog box for adjusting "Proportions Non Vulnerable" for each fishery. PNVs are used to simulate changes in size limits in the fisheries. For example, increasing the size limit will increase the proportion of some age classes that are no longer vulnerable to retention by the fishery. |
| CNR.. | This is currently under development. When implemented, it will open a dialog box for adjusting "Chinook Non-Retention" mortality parameters in some fisheries. | |
| Catch Ceilings.. | Opens a dialog box for adjusting catch ceilings (quotas) in fisheries that have this type of management control. For example, use it to set future catch ceilings in the ocean troll fisheries. | |
| Fishery Graphs | Opens a sub-menu for producing graphs of fishery statistics over time, including: Abundance Index, Catches (Total, Pre-terminal and Terminal) and Incidental Mortality (Total, Sublegal and Legal). Graphs generated are for the currently selected fishery. | |
| Stock | Inter-Dam Loss.. | Opens a dialog box for adjusting the "Inter-Dam Loss" rates for three Columbia River stocks. The IDLs are actually the survival rates from the time the fish leave the river fisheries and arrive on the spawning grounds. Warning: at present only three stocks actually have IDL. The fact that all stocks display is a bug to be corrected in a future release. |
| EV Scalars.. | Opens a dialog box for adjusting the annual "Environmental Variability" Scalars for each stock. The EV Scalars can be thought of as brood year survival rates that determine the relative spawning success each year. | |
| Enhancement.. | Opens a dialog box for adjusting parameters associated with hatchery stocks. | |
| Maturation Rates... | Opens a dialog box for adjusting maturation rates for each of the stocks (i.e., the fraction of each age class that returns to spawn in a given year). | |
| Stock Graphs | Opens a sub-menu for producing graphs of stock statistics over time including: Abundances, Escapements, CNR mortalities (Sublegal and Legal), Catches (Total, Preterminal and Terminal), True Term Run. Graphs generated are for the currently selected stock. | |
| Harvest | Harvest Rate Scalars.. | Opens a dialog box for adjusting annual stock/fishery specific harvest rates. For example, to simulate changes in fishery regulations (e.g., ime/area closures) that increase or decrease harvest rates relative to the base period. |
| Base Period Harvest Rates.. | Opens a dialog box displaying the stock/age/fishery specific harvest rates during the base period (1979-1982). These values cannot be changed. Use Harvest Rate Scalars to adjust harvest rates relative to base period values. | |
| Mortality Graphs | Opens a sub-menu for producing graphs of Total and Incidental mortality by stock and fishery. Graphs generated are for the currently selected stock and fishery. | |
| Run | Scenario | Runs the model in a scenario mode-a single instance of the model in deterministic mode (i.e., all parameters are fixed). |
| Monte Carlo.. | Opens a dialog box where the model is run in a Monte Carlo model. One or more "games" (a game is one instance of the model) are run using a different set of Brood Year Survival Rates (EV Scalars) during each run. The EV Scalars are selected randomly from designated probability distributions. Note: This mode of model operation is still under development for the PC platform. | |
| Calibrate | Calibrates the model to observed data. Calibration runs require special configuration files that most users will not have. | |
| Help | Contents | Opens a window giving the table of contents of the CRiSP Harvest help files: README, FAQ, Model Overview, and CRiSP Harvest manual. Click on a subject to read about it. |
| Glossary | Opens a window providing definitions for key CRiSP Harvest terminology (Chapter 2. User's Manual, Appendix 2.4). | |
| About CRiSP Harvest | Gives the version number of the model. |
