These files are the base input files used for the 2026 Pacific Hake/Whiting stock assessment.  Stock Synthesis (Methot and Wetzel, 2013) version 3.30.23.1
was the modeling platform used.  The assessment qualifies as a catch-only projection because the 2025 assessment model was projected forward to the start of 2026 using the fishery catches from 2025.
