“Finding the Fastest Fish”

Angela Zhou

Motivation

Major Themes

• Agent Based Model of behavior

• Behavioral Estimation from Movement Data

• Network Inference from Movement Data

Agent Based Model

• Model search behavior of individual fishermen at a time

• Theoretical “experimental” framework for testing ideas

Behavioral Estimation

• What are fishermen doing when they move?

Network Inference

• Can we infer the social network from this movement data?

• If not, what can we know about the social dynamics?

Broad Perspective

• Stockholm Resilience Center

• Social-Ecological Systems

Understanding individual dynamic

fishing behavior

Understand how fleets of fishermen

coordinate strategies

Inform better, more efficient sustainable

management
