FEISTY

The FishErIes Size and functional TYpe model (FEISTY)

• Colleen M. Petrik, Charles A. Stock, Ken H. Andersen, P. Daniël van Denderen, James R. Watson

Goals

• develop the size-based ecosystem modeling approach of Watson et al. 2014 with functional types and life stages
• apply to the global ocean to understand bottom-up effects
• climate change forecasts
• top-down effects (Ken, Kisei)
• movement (Fernando, Charlie)
• spawning phenology (Colleen, Rebecca Asch)
• regional applications
  • California Current (Colleen, Jerome Fietcher)
  • Alaska (Colleen, CSOPP, UAF)
  • Gulf of Mexico (Colleen)
• add benthic invertebrates
• add mesopelagics (Daniel, Ken)
• compare to size-specific models (Daniel)
