Abstract

APECOSM-E (Apex-Predator-Ecosystem-Model-Estimation) is a deterministic model that represents the 3D distribution and population dynamics of tropical tuna under the joint effect of environmental conditions and exploitation by fisheries. It is a simplified version of the top predator component of the APECOSM framework, based on a single partial differential equation. The model is structured in 3D space and fish size and considers size dependent reproduction, growth, predation, natural mortality and fishing mortality. Processes are time, space and size-dependent and linked to the environment through mechanistic bioenergetic or behavioral parameterizations. Physiological rates such as growth, reproduction and ageing mortality are derived from the Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory, while horizontal movements and vertical distribution obey a mechanistically derived advection–diffusion formulation driven by habitat gradients and oceanic currents. The effect of fishing is accounted for through the use of fleet-specific size and depth selectivity functions and time-dependent catchability coefficients which relate observed fishing effort to catches and size-frequencies.
