چکیده
C.M. 1990/L:68 Sass. Q The ECOPATII II model is a steady-state model that includes (i) routines for estimating a missing parameter for all groups in an ecosystem and for balancmg the flow in the system, (ii) routines for estimating network flow indices, and (iii) miscellaneous routines for deriving further statistics, as selection indices, omnivory indices, and several others. • ICLARM Contribution No. 654.

ECOPATH II - a software for balancing steady - state ecosystem models and calculating network characteristics *
The ECOPATH II microcomputer software is presented as an approach for balancing ecosystem models. It includes (i) routines for balancing the flow in a steady-state ecosystem from estimation of a missing parameter for all groups in the system, (ij) routines for estimating network flow indices, and (iii) miscellaneous routines for deriving additional indices such as food selection indices and omn...
متن کاملUsing Me Ecopam N Approach to Assess Krll.l Biomass and 1996. Structuring Models for Dynamics of Exploited Ecosystems from Trophic Mass-balance Assessments. (ms)
[Following the workshop where the above was presented, Dr Carl Walters of the Fisheries Centre, UBC, developed an approach now implemented as an ECOPATH II subroutine called ECOSIM, which reexpresses the linear equation system that the ECOPATH approach relies on, into a system of differential equations which can be integrated over time (Walters et aI1996). Thus, once an ECOPATH II model is cons...
متن کاملI. The ECOPATH Model and Its Application to French Frigate Shoals
A simple model termed ECOPATH is presented which estimates mean annual biomass, production, and consumption for components of an ecosystem. To use the model, the ecosystem must be partitioned into groups of similar species and provide for these species groups, estimates of production to biomass, diet, and food consumption. The ECOPATH model is applied to an ecosystem at French Frigate Shoals in...
متن کاملCross-Validation of Trophic Level Estimates from a Mass-Balance Model of Prince William Sound Using 15N/14N Data
Trophic mass-balance models of ecosystems constructed using the Ecopath approach and software include the diet composition of functional groups as model inputs, and trophic level estimates for these same groups as a model outputs. The well-documented 0.34% enrichment of lSN/14N that occurs at each feeding step in food webs can be used to determine trophic level as well. This contribution is the...
متن کاملEstimating the carrying capacity of French Frigate Shoals for the endangered Hawaiian monk seal using Ecopath with Ecosim
The carrying capacity of the French Frigate Shoals (FFS) region for the endangered Hawaiian monk seal was appraised using an updated version of the original FFS Ecopath model (Polovina 1984). Model parameters were updated using recent literature, and data from surveys of the seal population and its bottom-associated prey. Together they produced a static mass balance model for 1998 when the prey...
