• Description:
  Ecopath mass balance food web models are a type of ecosystem model that describes the network of feeding interactions between species in an ecosystem. Ecopath models that include fisheries are critical tools that can support ecosystem-based fisheries management by improving our understanding of how ecosystems operate and providing a framework for testing and evaluating management strategies. The Ecopath model of the southeastern Bering Sea has seen wide application in ecosystem research and directly contributes model outputs and other indicators to Ecosystem Status Reports that help inform annual quota-setting deliberations of the regional fisheries management council.
