Decision Support for Pond Aquaculture: Parameter Estimation for Simulation Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Users of the POND decision support system may often be interested in tailoring the models to one or more fish species at a given location. Manual calibration of the fish bioenergetics model in POND for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) growth has previously been reported (Bolte et al., 1995). However, estimating suitable parameters for complex, non-linear simulation models by manual calibration can be extremely tedious, because of the potentially high degree of interaction between variables and the large size and dimensions of parameter spaces to be searched.

متن کاملAquaculture Pond Modeling for the Analysis of IntegratedAquaculture/Agriculture Systems
Increased adoption of new activities such as aquaculture into existing agroecosystems calls for the application of simulation models to analyze and forecast consequences of new agroecosystem designs (Elliot and Cole, 1989; Edwards et al., 1988). The main objective of integrated systems is to enhance nutrient cycling and energy flow in the system to obtain maximum benefits in the production of f...
