In considering climate in stock assessment models, we also must think about how climate impacts future projections of stocks. We are working to incorporate environmental covariates into the 2018 North Pacific swordfish stock assessment and future catch projections. The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) correlates with swordfish annual recruitment and include a forecasted SOI in future projections using SSFutures to evaluate how the projections change in the near term (2-4 years).
