  • Pros

    • Provides static mass balanced snapshots of ecological systems
    • Includes time dynamic simulation modules for policy exploration
    • Analyzes spatial and temporal impacts of marine protected areas
    • Predicts accumulation of contaminants and tracers via Ecotracer
    • Evaluates management policy options and environmental change effects

  • Cons

    • Specialized focus restricts utility primarily to aquatic and marine environments
    • Requires initial static mass balanced snapshots to begin modeling
    • Spatial modules are primarily designed for protected area placement analysis
    • Simulation outcomes depend heavily on initial mass balance parameters
    • Modeling suite requires specialized expertise in fisheries and ecology

Developer’s Description

By UBC Fisheries Centre
Evaluate ecosystem effects of fishing and address various ecological questions.
Ecopath with Ecosim is a ecological/ecosystem modeling software suite. It has three main components: Ecopath - a static, mass-balanced snapshot of the system; Ecosim - a time dynamic simulation module for policy exploration; and Ecospace - a spatial and temporal dynamic module primarily designed for exploring impact and placement of protected areas. The Ecopath software package can be used to explore management policy options, analyze impact and placement of marine protected areas, predict movement and accumulation of contaminants and tracers (Ecotracer), and model effect of environmental changes.
