Preliminary trophic network analysis of subalpine Lake Annecy (France) using an Ecopath model
Lake Annecy is the second largest natural lake in France, with intensive commercial and recreational fisheries. However, there is limited knowledge of its trophic interaction. A preliminary Ecopath model was fitted to study the trophic interaction in the lake using the available data on most of the ecosystem compartments. Fourteen functional groups were used in the present analysis. Most of the...
متن کاملAutomated parameter optimization for Ecopath ecosystem models
Ecopath is mass-balance modeling approach that is widely used for incorporating ecosystem considerations into fisheries science. Up to now, users of Ecopath software who are constructing a model of a given area must carefully adjust input biomass, diets, and other parameters until the Ecopath parameterization is mass-balanced, a slow process leading to non-unique solutions. We present a new com...
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 کاملAn Ecosystem Model for Exploring Lake Restoration Effects on Fish Communities and Fisheries in Florida
Developing quantitative ecosystem–scale expectations of habitat restoration projects and examining trade-offs associated with alternative approaches has been a challenge for restoration ecology. Many of the largest freshwater lake restoration projects have occurred in Florida to remediate degradation to vegetated littoral habitats resulting from stabilized water levels, but effects across lake ...
متن کاملResearch Article: Trophic dynamics analysis and ecosystem structure for some fish species of northern Oman Sea
In the present study, a trophic structure model for some fish species of the northern Oman Sea is developed through using mass balance modeling software, Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE). In this model, we simulated 16 functional groups spread across an area of 3998.20 km2 from 2017 to 2018. Mean trophic level in the area of the present study was 3.49. Values calculated for system omnivory and connect...
