It can be defined given biological parameters (e.g., natural mortality and stock productivity) or using proxies (e.g., the maximum yield at 40% of unfished biomass). Units depend on units of catches. +Examples: +Rationale: Many management frameworks are based on calculations of MSY despite difficulty in its estimation. Metrics such as fishing rate at MSY should be abbreviated using all upper case letters but this is not common practice as of yet. For example, sometimes you will see F_msy or some derivative thereof. +Alternatives: msy, MSYproxy +Range of possible values: 0--Inf +Units: mt, numbers Alternatives: Range of possible values: lower bound of 0 Units: mortality per year (yr-1)
