Modelling - a useful tool
The applications of modeling are already numerous, and increasingly powerful computers will open new opportunities. In many cases, models are the only practical way to compare and quantify the different types of information and processes.
Modeling experiments also gives the opportunity to study the effects of, among other management strategies or climate change on fish stocks or other components of the ecosystem. The possibilities are many other words. IMR uses many different models for improving our understanding and quantification of the processes in the oceans.
