An interesting GIS area that has scope for development is the linkage
of ecosystem-fisheries research with the use of the model ECOPATH (Pauly
et al. 1999). ECOPATH can handle numerical evaluations of ecosystem impact
of fisheries and can conduct simulations of dynamics among ecosystem
elements (trophic interactions in the food web) to provide an overview
of the mechanism of marine ecosystem changes depending on fishing effort.
If the results of the simulations could be visualized by GIS, more
comprehensive spatiotemporal changes of ecosystem members could be
portrayed; e.g., changes of biomass, consumption and production rates,
diet composition, habitat preferences, and movement rates. With the addition
of spatial analytical methods, “ECOSIM/ECOSPACE” has been developed
and is being used to investigate a marine ecosystem study off the
west coast of Florida (Ault et al. 1999).
