Fisheries analysts and managers often lack user-friendly, flexible tools to implement and apply SPMs. In addition, SPMs are rarely spatially explicit and usually cannot account for relevant ecosystem drivers.

The Northern Shrimp stock in the Newfoundland and Labrador Shelves is an example of a stock in need of an SSPM that can integrate important spatially-structured ecosystem drivers. +Population models are important tools for making management decisions, especially in fisheries, where predictive methods like Surplus Production Models (SPMs) are widely used.
