Assessing fish connectivity across highly-modified seascapes

该项目旨在通过促进我们对这些改良沿海海景内的关键生态过程的了解，量化大规模基础设施对鱼类连通性和种群的影响。该项目期望在鱼类海景生态和管理领域产生新的知识，采用一种创新的方法，在集合种群建模的背景下考虑所有生活史阶段。该项目的预期成果包括开发一种综合建模方法，以更好地预测生境改变的影响。这应该会带来重大的好处，因为它允许在发展和管理行动发生之前对其进行评估，从而支持长期规划。

This project aims to quantify the effects of large-scale infrastructure on fish connectivity and populations by advancing our understanding of critical ecological processes within these modified coastal seascapes. The project expects to generate new knowledge in the area of fish seascape ecology and management using an innovative approach which considers all life history stages within a metapopulation modelling context. Expected outcomes of this project include the development of an integrated modelling approaches to better predict the effects of habitat modifications. This should provide significant benefits by allowing assessment of development and management actions before they take place, supporting long-term planning.
