Trophic model of the Balearic Islands ecosystem XAVIER JANSÀ M. Díaz-Valdés, F. Sánchez, J. Moranta, C. Barberá and E. Massutí Trophic model of the Balearic Islands ecosystem Why? 4. To contextualize the oligotrophic ecosystems of the Balearic Islands from a global perspective, including adjacent areas of western Mediterranean, from: (i) the estimation of the degree of connectivity between populations of the continental margin of the north-western Mediterranean and the Balearic Islands, using geochemical markers in hake otoliths; and, (ii) the analysis of information from fishing exploitation on the peninsular coast and the archipelago. ° Different temporal scales and organization levels (population, community and ecosystem ). V Experience in the model: Sánchez & Olaso (2004) V It has been developed in other adjacent areas of the Mediterranean. Ecopath EwE model General characteristics • Mass balance model (Ecopath), supplemented by dynamic modules: • temporal (Ecosim) • spatial (Ecospace) • Models the trophic flows: • Trophic interactions • Resources • Fishing fleets can be introduced as predators • Analyze in detail the system, integrating the available information to obtain a quantitative representation of the system Ecopath EwE model Ecosystem description • The model combines estimations of biomass and consumption of all components (species or functional groups), with the analysis of flows between the elements of the ecosystem. • Ecopath equation describes secondary production for system elements: Pi=∑B j∙M2 i+Y i+E i+BA i+P i(1-EE i) Bi∙(P/B) i=∑Bj∙(Q/B) i∙DC ij +Y i+E i+BA j+B i∙(P/B) i∙(1-EE i) • The ecosystem is modeled using a set of simultaneous linear equations (one for each group “i” in the system) Model parameterization Model requirements Bi∙(P/B) i=∑Bj∙(Q/B) i∙DC ij +Y i+E i+BA j+B i∙(P/B) i∙(1-EE i) •Biomass (B i) Basic parameters of the model, three •Production/biomass ratio (P/B) i of them must be known, the fourth can •Consumption/biomass ratio (Q/B) i be estimated •Ecotrophic efficiency EE i •Unassimilated food (U/Q) i Required, but provided by the model •Detritus fate •Diets Dc ij •Total fishery catch (Y) i Requires diets information, catch and migrations rates •Migration (E) i Definition of functional groups Functional groups Definition •Functional groups are the elements that represent the system •Portion of population of one species, individual species or species groups with common characteristics •Represent all trophic levels of the system from TL= 1 (primary producers) to TL= 4-5 (apex predators) 5.sea discards, detritus: to related groups Functional 4. t to according grouped were species remaining The 3.
