Title: Progress in the use of ecosystem modeling for fisheries management
Abstract: We are moving toward ecosystem-based management of fisheries, and it is clear that ecosystem modeling is an important tool for evaluating scenarios and trade-offs as part of such a move. This chapter evaluates the extent of ecosystem modeling as an active research field, the potential usefulness of the models for fisheries management, and actual use of ecosystem models in fisheries management. In addition we present some recommendations for how the move toward ecosystem-based management can be supported through an adaptive environmental assessment and management process.
