Input and output parameters of the Karapuzha reservoir model
Source publication
Food Web Modelling is used as a method for an interpretation of ecological processes and for studying the impact of fishing on biodiversity. An overview of ecological dynamics, as well as the significance of interactions between functional groups was obtained by modelling Ecopath with Ecosim in Karapuzha reservoir, in India. The modelling exercise...

... Production Changes (P anomalies, given P spline points for time series smoothing); shing impacts and permutations of the factors mentioned above (Table 1). AIC is a model choice method which penalises the application of too many variables for selecting the "correct" version (one that provides the lowest AIC) which takes into consideration the best t. ...Similar publications
Small pelagic fish (SPF) are important forage species and a target of major fisheries within diverse ecosystems. SPF are a critical link between plankton and higher trophic levels. Understanding the network of dependencies among species and fisheries supported by SPF is required for effective resource management and assessment of risks posed by env...
High levels of methylmercury (MeHg) have been reported in Arctic marine biota, posing health risks to wildlife and human beings. Although MeHg concentrations of some Arctic species have been monitored for decades, the key environmental and ecological factors driving temporal trends of MeHg are largely unclear. We develop an ecosystem-based MeHg bio...
The Danjiangkou Reservoir is the water source of the middle route of China’s South-to-North Water Diversion Project, encompassing the Dan Reservoir and Han Reservoir. However, little is known about the ecological functions of this important ecosystem. Based on a survey conducted in 2023 in the Dan Reservoir, a mass balance model was constructed usi...
The Ria de Aveiro is an important coastal lagoon for wildlife in Portugal, where the production of bivalves reaches approximately 2700 tons annually. However, the illegal overfishing of bivalves is frequent in this lagoon, which causes critical changes in the ecosystem. In this study, using a developed food-web model (Ecopath model), the ecological...
An integrated multi-trophic aquaculture system (IMTA) combined muti-trophic organism cultivation with ecological engineering facilities effectively improves energy utilization efficiency and reduces pollution emission, which promotes the development of the aquaculture industry. In this study, an Ecopath model was used to analyze the Pelteobagrus fu...
