Indicators are needed to support the implementation of an ecosystem approach to fisheries
(EAF), by providing information on the state of the ecosystem, the extent and intensity of …

Overexploitation and climate change are increasingly causing unanticipated changes in
marine ecosystems, such as higher variability in fish recruitment and shifts in species …

Membrane computing is a vibrant and fast-growing research area of natural computation
which covers the study of computing models, called membrane systems or P systems …

Mar Ecol Prog Ser 274: 269–303, 2004 how severely depleted some fish stocks are, and on
whether and how quickly they will recover, all agree that many stocks are overexploited …

Maintenance of overall ecosystem complexity is perceived as critical to the sustainability of
ecosystem use. The development of an operational basis for an ecosystem approach to …

In this thesis, we study a spatio–temporal prey–predator model of plankton. This model has
spatial interaction terms which represent a plankton dynamics that includes info–chemical …

In this paper, we survey the literature applying viability theory to the sustainable
management of renewable resources. After a refresher on the main concepts of viability …

Wide-ranging, indicator-based assessments of large, complex ecosystems are playing an
increasing role in guiding environmental policy and management. An example is the EU's …

The models used for ecosystems modeling are generally based on differential equations.
However, in recent years new computational models based on biological processes, or …

Academia and management agencies show a growing interest for ecosystem-based fishery
