Spatialised ecosystem modelling to evaluate the influences of marine protected areas and provisioning ecotourism on the foraging and distributional response of top predators from M... by Grusd, Samantha Paige

“…Spatial indicators (e.g., Biomass (B)mpa/Bbase, Bprovisioning/Bmpa) were calculated at various model timesteps to analyse the potential shift in top predator concentration over time and quantify their distributional response five, 15 and 25 years following the implementation of new MPAs and provisioning operation. …”

Systems modelling of the South African offshore demersal hake trawl fishery : an economic perspective by Cooper, Rachel

“…In order to address this need, this study's aims are to i) analyse the structure and dynamics of the economics of the South African offshore demersal hake trawl fishery from empirical data and stakeholder interviews, and ii) produce a prototype economic simulation model of this fishery to better understand the dynamics of the industry and the relative importance of its internal and external drivers, e.g. industrial organization, environmental uncertainty, exchange rate and fuel price. …”
