Abstract:
This study is designed to elucidate the relationship between oceanic circulation and the abundance of Calanus finmarchicus over its whole North Altantic range. Capitalising and extending on our successful spin-up project (GR02/2749) we shall use automatic optimisation to fit a series of process-based demographic models to existing and projected abundance data. Formal statistical methods will be used to evaluate the relative goodness of fit generated by models embodying competing hypotheses, thus allowing us to distinguish between them.
