This project aims to improve our understanding of inshore ecosystems to facilitate better management of our living marine heritage. The project first aims to extend field datasets on the density and distribution of thousands of marine fishes, invertebrates and macro-algae. These will then be combined using recent advances in quantitative ecological modelling to describe transfer of biomass between species at hundreds of sites, with a primary focus on southern Australia. It is anticipated that this will provide site-level indices of major food web processes that, when combined with ‘before, after, control, impact’ data, will improve prediction of ecological consequences of fishing, climate change, pest outbreaks and pollution.

本项目旨在加深我们对近岸生态系统的认识，以便更好地管理我们的海洋生物遗产。该项目首先旨在扩展关于数千种海洋鱼类、无脊椎动物和大型藻类的密度和分布的实地数据集。然后将这些数据与定量生态模型的最新进展相结合，以描述数百个地点物种之间的生物量转移，主要集中在澳大利亚南部。预计这将提供主要食物网过程的场址一级指数，与“前后、控制、影响”数据相结合，将改进对捕鱼、气候变化、虫害爆发和污染的生态后果的预测。
