Start year 2002 End year 2004 Funding (€) € 1,556,989 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/Q5RS-2001-01533 Summary The objective is to develop a theoretical bio-economic model for Mediterranean and Mediterranean-type fisheries, and a practical computer simulation model addressed to the management of these fisheries. This model and software should be sufficiently general and flexible to easily accommodate the realities of most Mediterranean fisheries, include multiple species and their interactions, multiple fleets and gear types, and all fisheries management tools currently used by Mediterranean fisheries managers. It should produce a wide range of fisheries performance measures, be dynamic, i.e. capable of simulating the fisheries over a long period of time, be stochastic to incorporate uncertainty in data and models and run on standard operating platforms (Windows, Unix, Linux).
The project will develop an appropriate theoretical background the understanding and general modelling of the key aspects of the Mediterranean fisheries and will review the current management practices in the Mediterranean region. The project will build a conceptual model for Mediterranean fisheries integrating the actual qualitative relationships among the different components involved in the fishery: the biological stocks, the fishing structures, fleets and gears, the market, the fisheries economics and the technological progress.
