ECOPATH

ECOPATH Fish or crustacean or any aquatic population is considered as an integral part of marine ecosystems. The aquatic resources can be made sustainable only if the ecosystem in which living resources live is studied. Hence in ‘ecosystem based fisheries management, the impacts of fishery on the ecosystem is taken into account. The ecopath software is used for analysing the tropic reactions in fisheries resources systems. This software could be used to assess the stock in an aquatic system. This model describes the ecosystem at a steady state for a given period.

ECOPATH conted...... This model is called Eosins as it envisages the steady state ecosystem changes over time, This model incorporates all major components of the ecosystem including the feeding interactions. Ecopath keeps track of all species and all the feeding interactions within the system at one point of time, while the ecosystem emphasizes the changes in one or more components affecting the ecosystem over time.

ECOPATH conted...... Principles : This model is based on two major equations Describes the production term Energy balance of each group The model is computed from the equation Pi = Yi + Bi . M2i + Ei + BAi + Pi . (1-E Ei) Pi = Total production rate (i) Yi = Total fishery catch rate of (i) M2i = Total predation rate for group Bi = Biomass of the group. Ei = Net migration rate which includes emigration – immigration

ECOPATH conted...... Principles : BAi is the biomass accumulation rate for (i) while MOi = Pi (1-EEi) is the other mortality rate for (i). The above equation can be expressed as Bi . (P/B)i . EEi - Dcji - YA - Ei -BAi = 0 Where P/Bi is the production/biomass ratio Q/Bi is the Consumption/biomass ratio DCji, the fraction of prey (i) in the average diet of predator (j).

ECOPATH conted...... Principles : The production rate, Pi could be calculated as the product of Bi. the biomass of (i), while the Pi/Bi is production / biomass ratios for group (i). The Pi/Bi rate mostly corresponds to total mortality Z. The other mortality includes mortality due to decrease of old age and could be computed from Moi = Pi . (1 – EEi) Where, EEi is called eco tropical efficiency of (i). The ecotropic efficiency is described as the production that is utilized in the system. M2 is the production term link production and prey as M2i = . Dcji

ECOPATH conted...... Principles : M2 is the production term link production and prey as M2i = . Dcji The summation includes all (n) predator groups (j) feeding on group (i), Qj is the total consumption rate for group (j) DCji is the fraction of predator (j) diet contributed by prey (i). Qj is calculated as the product of Bj, the biomass of group (i) and Qj / Bj the consumption / biomass ratio for group (j).

ECOPATH conted...... Principles : Ecopath model sets up a system with many linear equations for parameterization. This model usually solves the set of one of the following parameters for catch group in a system. The parameters are biomass, production/biomass ratio, consumption/biomass ratio or ecotrophic efficiency. Parameters to be entered for all groups Catch rate Net migration rate Biomass accumulation rate Annihilation rate Diet compositions
