Baranov catch and age-structured survival: total mortality · case 04

Survivors ignore natural mortality and catches are overstated.

Case contract

Z_a = F_a + M; catch_a = F_a/Z_a*N_a*(1-exp(-Z_a)) (0 when Z=0); survivors N_a*exp(-Z_a) age one year; the last class is a plus group; next year starts with recruits at age 0; return [catch rounded 3, next vector rounded 3, total catch rounded 3]; at least two age classes.

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.

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

Boundary fixture	Actual	Expected	Outcome
regression: haddock four ages	`[[95.163, 155.509, 118.041, 59.02], [900.0, 904.837, 444.491, 272.939], 427.733]`	`[[86.394, 141.649, 107.875, 53.937], [900.0, 740.818, 363.918, 223.463], 389.855]`	Failed
