  3. Ecosystem Models and Management Advice • Conceptual/understanding: of the structure, functioning and interactions of the ecosystem, or sub-system, under consideration. May not be used explicitly in decision-making or scientific advice but forms the underlying context for any detailed management planning and decision-making • Strategic decisions: linked to policy goals and are generally long-range, broadly-based and inherently adaptable • Tactical decisions: aimed at the short-term (e.g. next 3-5 years), linked to an operational objective and in the form of a rigid set of instructions e.g. tactical decision to change quota Ecosystem models generally intended to complement not replace single-species assessment models SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  4. Tipe-tipe Model • Whole ecosystem models: models that attempt to take into account all trophic levels in the ecosystem • Minimum Realistic Models (MRM): limited number of species most likely to have important interactions with a target species of interest • Dynamic System Models (Biophysical): represent both bottom-up (physical) and top-down (biological) forces interacting in an ecosystem • Extensions of single-species assessment models (ESAM): expand on current single-species assessment models taking only a few additional inter-specific interactions into account SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  13. Questions for EAF Modelling Issues pertaining to the management of target and related species: • Impact of a target species on other species in the ecosystem? • Limitations of single-species-based assessment • Targeting of relatively unexploited species • What are the impacts of retained by-catch? • What is the effect on top predators of removing the predators themselves and their prey? • What is the extent of competition between fisheries and species of concern such as marine mammals,turtles,seabirds and sharks. SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  14. Questions for EAF Modelling Issues pertaining to species: • What are the impacts of fishing on biodiversity? • What are the impacts of commencing fishing on a previously unexploited species about which little is known. • Effects of the introduction of non-native species. • What are the impacts of non-retained by-catch? SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  15. Questions for EAF Modelling Environmental and unintentional impacts on ecosystems • Effects of physical/environmental factors on the resources on which fisheries depend. • Changes in ecosystem state, e.g. regime shift, change to a less productive/less desirable state. • Anthropogenic effects. • Effects of habitat modification e.g. trawling damaging benthic habitats SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

OUTLINE OF TALK • Ecosystem Model Objectives • Ecosystem Model Types • Questions for EAF* Modelling • Ecosystem Model Classification • Considerations in Model Building and the Best Practice Approach • Role of Management Procedures • Data requirements • Conclusions SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  32. Methods and rules to compute Catch per ssmu Explore uncertainties re model specification and fit to data Simulation testing Use “future” data to compute Catch per ssmu Role of OMP/MP/MSE’s(MP = Management procedure; MSE = Management Strategy Evaluation) Operating Model to simulate “true dynamics of resource OPERATING MODEL MANAGEMENT PROCEDURE From Rademeyer et al. 2007 SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  33. Role of OMP/MP/MSE’s(MP = Management procedure; MSE = Management Strategy Evaluation) • Approach involves an evaluation of the implications of alternative combinations of monitoring data, analytical procedures, and decision rules to provide advice on management measures that are robust to inherent uncertainties in all inputs and assumptions used. • MSE or MP frameworks are used to identify and model uncertainties and to balance different resource dynamics representations. • They provide key examples of formal methods for addressing uncertainty issues. SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  34. More re Dealing withUncertainty • Few ecosystem models with applications to practical fisheries management • Management Procedure testing procedures can use changes in single species parameters (such as carrying capacity K) as a surrogate for ecological ecosystem effects e.g. climate change that are difficult to incorporate explicitly in operating models • Technical ecosystem effects such as bycatch concerns can also be included as Robustness tests in the MP testing process • These additions constitute a first step towards incorporating ecosystem aspects into practical fisheries management advice • Multi-species/Ecosystem MPs being developed Pg. 52 SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  35. Multi-species/Ecosystem MPs • ATLANTIS used to evaluate the performance of ecological indicators • ATLANTIS used to test ecosystem models such as EwE by generating simulated data with known parameters • South African Pelagic OMP - food requirements of predators such as penguins need to be accounted for in the management process • CCAMLR: FOOSA and SMOM – spatially explicit multi-species MP frameworks SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  36. Spatial Multi-species Operating Model (SMOM) of Krill-Predator Interactions No feedback Feedback SMOM-predicted change in predator abundance with a) no feedback in spatial catch allocations and b) using a feedback control rule based on a moderate amount monitoring information available for all SSMUs.

  37. LESS DATA RE MORE SPECIES WHOLE ECO-SYSTEM DATA RE MOVEMENT / DISTRIBUTIONS SPATIAL Data Requirements DETAILED DATA RE FEW SPECIES – USUALLY SIZE/AGE STRUCTURE DATA MRM MORE DATA RE MORE SPECIES e.g. ADDING AGE STRUCTURE ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL, FISHING FLEET, ANTHROPOGENIC SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service

  38. KESIMPULAN • A good range of models have been developed for the task of EAF, but greater focus is needed on strengthening these approaches and conducting the necessary data collection and experimentation to underpin confidence in these approaches • Management decisions will be enhanced by exploring the same issue with different models; confidence in the decisions will increase when the models independently converge on the same management decisions and when uncertainties in the results have been adequately considered. • MSE/MP approach is best practice • Strategical modelling will mainly be used to inform and evaluate the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries, with use in tactical decisions rare SUMBER: www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/.../03_Review_...‎National Marine Fisheries Service
