An ExtendSim platform to simulate the effects of trawling on benthic communities BLOCKS ● SYSTEM PRESENTATION ● METHODOLOGY ● STUDY AREAS ● SIMULATION PLATFORM: SIMULATION OF TRAWLING EFFECTS ON BENTHIC COMMUNITIES AND EXPLOITED RESOURCES

BLOCK : SYSTEM PRESENTATION Benthos Fishing effort Commercial species Management ● Trawling affects benthic communities modifying Essential Fish Habitats  Effects on the resources. ● Platform goal  link fishing – benthos – commercial species ● This platform is meant to be a useful tool for stakeholders: managers, fishermen, scientists, politicians… Dayton et al Aquatic Conservation. 5:

-There are many ways to estimate fishing effort: CPUE, swept area, total length of trawl tracks.. Chosen unit: GT x days at sea/month - This information can be obtained in any area were the simulations wants to be applied BLOCK : METHODOLOGY FISHING EFFORT ESTIMATION Demestre et al. CIESM 2010

● Species composition is highly influenced by local characteristics  it can mask fishing impact consequences ● SPECIES  TRAITS : - Reduces the number of variables :  Overcome regional differences  Highlights fishing effects ● For the simulation we used simple traits easily assigned to species and directly related to trawling resistance/vulnerability BLOCK : METHODOLOGY BENTHIC COMMUNITY REPRESENTATION : THE TRAITS APPROACH de Juan, S. and Demestre, M Ecological Indicators. 18: 183–190.

An ExtendSim platform to simulate the effects of trawling on benthic communities WORK STATUS ● DONE: -Epifauna and physical data collection -Platform structure ● IN PROGRESS: -Statistical basis to run the simulation -Building the graphical interface FUTURE CHALLENGES : - Include information on infaunal community - Include the link benthos – comercial species
