Sensitivity analysis of the multispecies virtual population analysis model parameterized for a system of trophically-linked species from the eastern Bering Sea

A sensitivity analysis of a multispecies virtual population analysis (MSVPA) model parameterized for the Bering Sea was carried out using two methods for the analysis. In the first method, four variables related to the predation mortality M2 and population size of age-1 walleye pollock (Theragra cha...

In the first method, four variables related to the predation mortality M2 and population size of age-1 walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus) were chosen as response variables. Results suggested that the response variables of walleye pollock were sensitive to the residual mortality M1 of walleye pollock, the stock size of arrowtooth flounder (Atheresthes stomias) and ration of both predator species. Pacific cod response variables were sensitive only to variables related to Pacific cod. These results reinforce the importance of cannibalism in the dynamics of walleye pollock and Pacific cod.

Con el primer método, se consideraron variables de respuesta a cuatro variables relacionadas con la mortalidad por depredación M2 y el tamaño de la población de un año de edad de abadejo de Alaska (Theragra chalcogramma) y bacalao del Pacífico (Gadus macrocephalus). Los resultados sugirieron que las variables de respuesta del abadejo de Alaska fueron sensibles a la mortalidad residual M1 del propio abadejo, a la magnitud del stock de Atheresthes stomias y a la ración de ambas especies. Las variables de respuesta del bacalao del Pacífico fueron sensibles únicamente a variables relacionadas con la misma especie. Estos resultados refuerzan la importancia del canibalismo en la dinámica tanto del abadejo de Alaska como del bacalao del Pacífico. Los resultados del análisis de perturbación mostraron que los cambios causados por las perturbaciones positivas grandes en el parámetro "otras presas" ("other food" en inglés) fueron pequeños. Los resultados de ambos análisis de sensibilidad sugieren que el modelo MSVPA puede ser considerado robusto. Este resultado ayuda a reconocer el uso potencial del modelo MSVPA como una herramienta útil para incluir el manejo de los recursos pesqueros del Mar de Bering dentro de una perspectiva multiespecífica. 2004-03-06 2021-06-03T03:55:06Z 2021-06-03T03:55:06Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Peer-reviewed Article Artículo Arbitrado https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/245 10.7773/cm.v30i2.245 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12930/7373 eng https://www.cienciasmarinas.com.mx/index.php/cmarinas/article/view/245/208 application/pdf Iniversidad Autónoma de Baja California Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 30 No. 2 (2004); 285-296 Ciencias Marinas; Vol. 30 Núm. 2 (2004); 285-296 2395-9053 0185-3880
