8. Information Theory (Ulanowicz, 1986) Average Mutual Information ( I ) measures the probability that a unit of energy flows to certain destination. When uncertainty of the destination is high, I is bigger, quantifies degree of articulation in network/models. Measure of organization, higher in mature and complex systems. The I is higher while more complex trophic links. I = Lower I = Higher

9. Hypothesis When a fishery catch or remove biomass of group of species with simple trophic links, the impact of this fishery could be more severe, making ecosystem's stability and resilience vulnerable when high biomasses are extracted from the system
