Abstract

We introduce DISPAS, Demersal fIsh Stock Probabilistic Agent-based Simulator, with the aim of helping to investigate and understand sustainability in the exploitation of fishery resources. The simulator has capabilities for exploring different fishing scenarios, focusing on the case study of the common sole (Solea solea) stock in the Northern Adriatic Sea (Mediterranean Sea). In order to assess and predict the availability of the fish stock under different fishing efforts, the simulator allows the user to specify fishing mortality rates (F) on a monthly basis. We present some preliminary results simulating different scenarios.
