The Trophic Significance of the Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin, Sousa chinensis, in Western Taiwan. by Ching-Wen Pan, Meng-Hsien Chen, Lien-Siang Chou, Hsing-Juh Lin

“…To explore this topic, we conducted field surveys seasonally for two years from 2012 to 2013 and constructed Ecopath models of Ex, Ez, and an offshore site (Dm) to compare energy flow within the food webs. …”

Ecosystem approach to fisheries: Exploring environmental and trophic effects on Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) reference point estimates. by Rajeev Kumar, Tony J Pitcher, Divya A Varkey

“…Data from single-species modelling output, extensive annual sampling for species abundances, annual catch-survey, stomach-content analysis for predatory-prey interactions, and expert opinions were brought together within the framework of an Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) ecosystem model. An increase in the lake water temperature was observed in the last few decades; therefore, we also incorporated a temperature forcing function in the EwE model to capture the influences of changing temperature on the species composition and food web. …”

Description of the East Brazil Large Marine Ecosystem using a trophic model by Kátia M.F. Freire, Villy Christensen, Daniel Pauly

“…A trophic model was constructed for the 1970s using Ecopath with Ecosim. The impact of most of the forty-one functional groups was modest, probably due to the highly reticulated diet matrix. …”

Marine mammal impacts in exploited ecosystems: would large scale culling benefit fisheries? by Lyne Morissette, Villy Christensen, Daniel Pauly

“…We examined trophic interactions between marine mammals and fisheries based on a resource overlap index, using seven Ecopath models including marine mammal groups. On a global scale, most food consumed by marine mammals consisted of prey types that were not the main target of fisheries. …”

Model-based analysis of the energy fluxes and trophic structure of a Portunus trituberculatus polyculture ecosystem by Feng, J, Tian, XL, Dong, SL, He, RP, Zhang, K, Zhang, DX, Zhang, QQ

“…We constructed a quantitative Ecopath model of a trophic network to evaluate the energy flow and properties in a polyculture ecosystem containing 4 species (swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus, white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, short-necked clam Ruditapes philippinarum, and redlip mullet Liza haematochila) over a 90 d experimental period. …”

Herring supports Northeast Pacific predators and fisheries: Insights from ecosystem modelling and management strategy evaluation. by Szymon Surma, Tony J Pitcher, Rajeev Kumar, Divya Varkey, Evgeny A Pakhomov, Mimi E Lam

“…This paper analyzes the trophic role of Pacific herring, the potential consequences of its depletion, and the impacts of alternative herring fishing strategies on a Northeast Pacific food web in relation to precautionary, ecosystem-based management. We used an Ecopath with Ecosim ecosystem model parameterized for northern British Columbia (Canada), employing Ecosim to simulate ecosystem effects of herring stock collapse. …”

Trophic model of the outer continental shelf and upper slope demersal community of the southeastern Brazilian Bight by Marcela C. Nascimento, Gonzalo Velasco, Thomas A. Okey, Villy Christensen, A. Cecília Z. Amaral

“…To understand the structure and role of the demersal community on the southeastern Brazilian Bight, we constructed a trophodynamic model with 37 functional groups to represent the demersal community of the outer continental shelf and upper slope of this area, using the Ecopath with Ecosim 6 (EwE) approach and software. …”

ELASTICITY ANALYSIS OF THE GRAZING AND DETRITAL PATHWAYS IN A SHALLOW PHILIPPINE SEAGRASS MEADOW by Michael Clores

“…Using a previously constructed Ecopath model for a shallow Philippine seagrass meadow, the simulations of altering the biomass of seagrasses and their grazers were done to determine the change in EE, FTD, and SAE, thereby generating information on the dynamics of the grazing and detrital pathways in the seagrass ecosystem. …”
