Schaefer surplus-production harvest reference points: collapse threshold · case 02
Excessive effort yields negative biomass and negative catch.
Case contract
MSY = rK/4 at B=K/2 and E_msy = r/(2q); equilibrium biomass under effort E is K(1-qE/r) when qE<r else 0; yield = qEB; status 'overfished' when E>E_msy, 'at-msy' when equal, else 'sustainable'; return [MSY, Bmsy, Emsy, B, yield, status] rounded; None for invalid inputs.
Why this case matters
Population projections set harvest quotas, conservation status and pest-control timing; a wrong update order, boundary or rate conversion silently changes management advice.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| regression: collapse effort | [150.0, 1500.0, 100.0, -1500.0, -450.0, "overfished"] | [150.0, 1500.0, 100.0, 0.0, 0.0, "overfished"] | Failed |
