Developing a carbon-budget trophic model of the Ross Sea, Antarctica: work in progress
Abstract: We report on the development of a carbon-budget trophic-model of the Ross Sea. We ... column, ice, and benthic). The simple trophic model requires well over a hundred parameters, each of ... explicit assumptions. The model is not complete, and should be considered a work in progress. A trial ... budget was created to quantify carbon flow through our conceptual model of the Ross Sea ecosystem. A ...

Depletion-corrected average catch: a simple formula for estimating sustainable yields in data-poor situations
-lived species. Over an extended period (e.g. a decade or more), the catch is divided into a sustainable ... yield component and an unsustainable “windfall” component associated with a one-time reduction in stock ... biomass. The size of the windfall is expressed as being equivalent to a number of years of sustainable ... production, in the form of a “windfall ratio”. The DCAC is calculated as the sum of catches divided by the ...
