EcoWin2000 model introduction

EcoWin 2000	Scale B,C - definition	Shellfish	North Atlantic/Mediterranean	ana@ecowin.org Institute of Marine Research, Portugal EcoWin home page
Description:	EcoWin - an object-oriented programming approach to implementing ecological models for aquatic systems, using a spatial (1D, 2D or 3D) framework of boxes, within each of which the relevant biogeochemistry and population dynamics can be resolved for particular locations and problems. ASSETS - a screening model that can be used as an integrated approach for eutrophication assessment. This model provides an overall classification of the eutrophication status of the system into five classes: High (best), Good, Moderate, Poor and Bad (worst). FARM - A web-based model for modelling of shellfish farms in coastal and estuarine waters, including waste transport, shellfish individual growth for several species, population dynamics and dissolved oxygen balance.

FARM - Farm Aquaculture Resource Management

Directed both at the farmer and the regulator

Prospective analysis of culture location and species selection
Ecological and economic optimization of culture practise (timing and sizes for seeding and harvesting, densities and spatial distributions)
Environmental assessment of farm related eutrophication effects (including mitigation)
