Development of methods for evaluating the management of benthic impacts from longline fishing using spatially explicit production models, including model validation
Abstract: An important management objective for CCAMLR in the high seas region of the Antarctic ... extreme case studies to validate the underlying model and code. In general, the model simulations were ... that they are relatively simple to construct, run, and interpret. In most cases, the results of the ... simulations suggested that management action of areal closures in the Ross Sea region are likely to result in ...

A key ... predator colonies. In order to estimate the krill production actually available for predator consumption ... , it is necessary not only to consider “snapshot” survey estimates of krill abundance in the vicinity ...
