Title:Ecosystem Modelling for Fishery Management
When:26.08.2013 - 30.08.2013
Location:ICES HQ, Copenhagen, Denmark
Description:The course will provide an introduction to using ecosystem modelling for strategic evaluations as part of fishery management. It includes,
o a review of ecosystem model types;
o an overview of food web modelling and integration with fisheries economics;
o time-dynamic modelling with emphasis on time series fitting and environmental impacts
o ecosystem carrying capacity, and trade-offs between fisheries;
o ecosystem-level management strategy evaluation;
o spatial modeling including habitat capacity modeling, fleet-effort dynamics, MPA evaluation, and spatial optimization (zoning); and
o an introduction to using ecosystem modeling in regional management councils;
The course will be split about evenly between lectures and tutorials, with a focus on hands-on development of simple models from scratch. The intention is to give participants confidence in constructing and interpreting basic ecosystem models, as well as a basic knowledge of more advanced methodologies for modelling.
