Ecological Modeling of Growth and Nutrient Dynamics of Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture System using STELLA software

Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research (ZMT) GmbH, Bremen, Germany

Method / software: STELLA Architect 4.4.1

  • Mechanistic process-based modeling. Have started working with the “Spatial Ecology and Interactions” and “Ecosystem Dynamics and Resource Sustainability” working groups at ZMT. As a part of ecological modeling, STELLA software is applied to Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture to optimize species interactions with biomass and nutrient flux like dissolved inorganic nutrients and suspended solid matter under physical drivers.
