This project aims to develop the first global ecosystem model with a more realistic representation of zooplankton. Fish are the main source of protein for 3 billion people, yet fish catches are declining. Current models of future fish biomass under climate change do not consider the complex role that zooplankton play in transferring energy from phytoplankton to fish. By resolving the link between phytoplankton and fish, this project will vastly improve estimates of future global fisheries production and regional variation. Such knowledge is vital for future food security in Australia and globally, and also to understand the role of zooplankton in carbon export in the ocean.

该项目旨在开发第一个全球生态系统模型，更真实地反映浮游动物。鱼类是30亿人的主要蛋白质来源，但鱼类捕捞量正在下降。目前关于气候变化下未来鱼类生物量的模型没有考虑浮游动物在将能量从浮游植物转移到鱼类方面所起的复杂作用。通过解决浮游植物和鱼类之间的联系，该项目将大大改善对未来全球渔业产量和区域变化的估计。这些知识对于澳大利亚和全球未来的粮食安全至关重要，也有助于了解浮游动物在海洋碳输出中的作用。
