Institute for the Oceans and Fisheries (UBC) Seminar

Dr. Kim de Mutsert
Associate Professor

Division of Coastal Sciences, School of Ocean Science and Engineering
University of Southern Mississippi (USM)

Dr. de Mutsert will present coupled modeling projects that use physical-biological models to simulate the changes in the land- and waterscape, offline coupled to Ecospace models that simulate the effects of these changes on fish and shellfish biomass and distribution. With these projects she will also go through the development of ideas to include species-specific responses to environmental changes in Ecopath with Ecosim modeling. The overarching goal of the coupled modelling approach is improving the capability to assess the effects of alternative management strategies on ecosystem function, living resources, and fisheries landings, and allow for managers to make informed decisions that include potential trade-offs.
