This report, deliverable 4.6 (D4.6), is a deliverable of Work Package 4 (WP4 – Ecosystem models and assessment models) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. The aim of the MareFrame project is to identify management strategies which will achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) by applying a minimum of two ecosystem models on each of eight

This report is a deliverable of work package 4 (WP4 – Ecosystem models and assessment models) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. The aim of the MareFrame project is to identify management strategies which will encompass the ecosystem approach to fisheries management. The generic strategy for the project is to apply a minimum of two

This report is the 4th deliverable in WP4 and studies the performance of two models commonly used in this WP, Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and Gadget. An Atlantis model was constructed for Icelandic waters and used as an operating model, i.e. simulated data from Atlantis was fed into EwE and Gadget. Thus, Atlantis was considered

The debate on the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) has shifted from definition of the concept towards implementation. In the European Union (EU) challenges and barriers coming from the scientific knowledge base and the institutional framework have been analysed elsewhere. However, in the current playing field other challenges have gone unnoticed. These relate to

This report is a deliverable of work package 4 (WP4 – Ecosystem models and assessment models) of the FP7 MareFrame research project. One of the aims of the MareFrame project is to identify management strategies which will achieve Good Environmental Status (GES) by applying a minimum of two ecosystem models on each of eight different

Work package 2 (WP2) aimed to identify, collect, and evaluate information not usually considered for assessment and management. Deliverable 2.4 (D2.4) contains a list of protocols that describe the final implementation of the novel data into models within each case study (CS). Each of these protocols is written in a similar way as a "Material
