Georges
Bank/Gulf of Maine population dynamics.

Further advancement of these and
other model approaches is
|
|
|
encouraged,
with particular emphasis on coupling the lower
|
|
|
|
and
upper trophic level models of the
Georges Bank
|
|
|
|
ecosystem. Ideally, a product of synthesis will be
|
|
|
|
quantitative
coupled physical/biological ecosystem models
|
|
|
|
that
embody the collective knowledge learned in the
|
|
|
|
Georges
Bank program and that can be used to investigate
|
|
|
|
the
Bank ecosystem response to future climate variability.
