1. Introduction
fish hatchery may have in increasing population sizes and ultimately catch ,
Chapter 18 addresses larger-scale environmental and economic issues associated with aquaculture, focussing on the impacts of global shrimp harvest
on marine ecosystems.
Part III of the book contains a brief summary of the previous chapters
and conclusions that can be derived from the models of the book. It places
the preceding chapters into the broader context of marine conservation and
offers direction for further research and a glimpse into the role Dynamic
Modeling for Marine Conservation can and does play in problem solving.
A Glossary of conservation and modeling terms is included at the back of
the book. An Appendix also includes directions for installation of STELLA
and the models contained on the CD ROM, as well as a quick help guide to
the use of the STELLA software.
1.7. Questions and Tasks
1. What features distinguish-conceptually and practically-conservation
biology applied to terrestrial and marine systems?
2. What are key differences between formal and informal models?
3. Name three limitations to predictive modeling.
4. Name three limitations to descriptive modeling.
5. Identify modeling criteria that can be used to judge a model's usefulness
in marine policy or management decision making.
