Best practice in Ecopath with Ecosim food-web models for ecosystem-based management
Special issue Ecopath 30 years – Modelling ecosystem dynamics: beyond boundaries with EwE.-- 12 pages, 4 figures, 1 box Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) models are easier to construct and use compared to most other ecosystem modelling techniques and are therefore more widely used by more scientists and managers.

Ecosystem structure and trophic analysis of Angolan fishery landings
Information on the mean trophic level of fishery landings in Angola and the output from a preliminary Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) model were used to examine the dynamics of the Angolan marine ecosystem.

Ecosystem Impacts of the Landing Obligation for Unwanted Catch in Thermaikos Gulf (Greece)
ABSTRACT Discards by marine commercial fisheries have been an issue of major concern to the scientific community in recent years. We modeled the ecological and trophic consequences of a mandatory landing obligation (LO) regulated by the reformed Common Fisheries Policy [Regulation (EU) 1380/2013] on the Thermaikos Gulf ecosystem (northwestern Aegean ...

A critical look at the potential of Ecopath with ecosim to assist in practical fisheries management
Ecosystem-orientated thinking is increasingly incorporated into fishery management. Given the complexity of ecosystem processes, there is a need to evaluate the tools used to steer this thinking critically. ECOPATH with ECOSIM (EwE), an aggregate system-modelling package, is currently the most widely employed approach to assess the ecosystem effects of

Modelling marine trophic transfer of radiocarbon (14C) from a nuclear facility [PDF]
Sellafield marine discharges of 14C are the largest contributor to the global collective dose from the nuclear fuel industry. As such, it is important to understand the fate of these discharges beyond the limitations and scope of empirical analytical ...

Innovative Approaches to Modelling and Forecasting in Fisheries: A Critical Review
ABSTRACT Fisheries management increasingly demands robust forecasting tools to address growing environmental variability, anthropogenic pressures and complex ecological dynamics. This review systematically examines innovative modelling and forecasting approaches in fisheries, focusing on their descriptions, applications, strengths and limitations and ...
