1 Ecosystem Models: Food webs How should components of the food web be represented in models? Ecosystem: a geographically specified system of organisms, including humans, the environment, and the processes that control its dynamics (NOAA 2005). The time has come for community ecology to replace population ecology as the fundamental ecological science underlying fisheries (Mangel and Levin 2005). Communities are assemblages of species. Interactions makes the community more than the sum of its parts. Communities interact via the food web. NOAA New priorities for the 21st century: NOAA's strategic plan. NOAA, Washington, D.C. Mangel, M., and P.S. Levin Regime, phase and paradigm shifts: making community ecology the basic science for fisheries. Phil. Trans. R. Soc. B, 360 (1453):

10 Summary: Ecosystem change (without caveats) 1990s 2000s High YFT recruitment ( ) Intermediate YFT recruitment ( ) Higher productivity regime Less jumbo squid, smaller range Abundance of highly productive epipelagic prey (i.e. Auxis spp.) Higher daily rations Larger prey sizes Shorter food webs (greater transfer efficiency) Lower productivity regime More jumbo squid, range expansion Increase in highly productive mesopelagic prey (e.g. mesopel. fishes, cephalopods) Lower daily rations Smaller prey sizes Longer food webs (lower transfer efficiency)

15 Key Data for Ecosystem Models Spatial scope of model. Definition of food web components (keystone species, dietary specialists). Aggregation/disaggregation (Pinnegar et al. 2005) Do critical food-web connections exist? Distribution & abundance of managed stocks, non-target species, and forage base. Spatiallyexplicit models. Pinnegar, J.K., J.L. Blanchard, S. Mackinson, R.D. Scott, and D.E. Duplisea Aggregation and removal of weak-links in food-web models: system stability and recovery from disturbance. Ecological Modelling. 184:
16 Understanding changes in pelagic ecosystems: 1. Monitoring Issue: Fisheries-independent surveys of micronekton forage communities using nets or acoustics expensive and difficult. Recommendation: Low-level, carefully-designed, continuous stomach sampling program of tunas to monitor changes in mid-trophic levels. Generalist predators as biological samplers: Ubiquitous in EPO High energy requirements Energy limited (bioenergetics, growth) Low prey size selectivity (large yellowfin) Diversity in YFT diet in EPO mirrors broad-scale species diversity patterns described in literature.
17 Why study food webs? Trophic structure represented in food webs is thought to be the central organizing concept in ecology (Martinez 1995). Knowledge of pelagic food webs is still rudimentary, in many aspects. Better food-web models are needed (preferably, spatially-explicit).
