Track Record. Published science, tested with regulators and stakeholders in Europe, US, and Asia.

System Management. Innovative approach for optimisation of aquaculture biomass production.

Big Picture. Know how aquaculture production licenses impact on a macro scale.

Licensing. Examine nutrient loading and aquaculture development scenarios. Understand trade-offs between people, planet, and profit.

Zonal Production. Aquaculture modelling in order to assist with site selection and production expansion.

ECOWIN

ECOWIN is an ecological model for aquatic systems developed using an object-oriented approach. The model addresses hydrodynamics issues, biogeochemistry and can incorporate population dynamics for target species. ECOWIN analyses hydrodynamics issues, and biogeochemistry at the system scale.

Hydrodynamics, suspended matter transport, the nitrogen cycle, phytoplankton and nutriet loading, finfish and shellfish growth, and human interactions, are accounted for by the ECOWIN dynamic modelling engine.

  • ECOWIN uses a dynamic modelling engine.
  • Examination of nutrient loading and aquaculture development scenarios.
  • Supporting an ecosystem approach to sustainable aquaculture development.
