Individual-based model of bluegill sunfish production in aquatic mesocosms/microcosms
Abstract
The development of an individual-based model for ag-ill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (Rafinesque) is described. Fish are modeled as an assemblage of individuals. Foraging, bioenergetics, interactions with conspecifics, and reproduction are modeled separately for each fish using control data from aquatic mesocosm/microcosm studies. The individual behavior of each fish is described by decision rules which specify what particular actions the fish performs on a daily basis. A summary of the most important behavioral rules for the model and how physical and resource environments can be taken into account is presented. Development of this type of modeling is pursued for ultimate use in field situations to better understand the influences of natural environmental conditions versus toxicant exposures on populations of fish through time.
