NOAA RESTORE Science Program: Ecosystem modeling to improve fisheries management in the Gulf of Mexico: model inputs and outputs for the West Florida Shelf, 1985-01-01 to 2018-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0242339)

This dataset is a collection of files containing the necessary inputs to and relevant outputs from the West Florida Shelf ecosystem model used to estimate mortality rates on valuable reef fish species, and ecosystem indicators to estimate red tide mortality rates events. The model was developed using the Ecopath with Ecosim and Ecospace modeling software package. The spatial extent of the model is 25° to 30.5° N and 81° to 87.5° W and simulations were run in hindcast from 1985 to 2018 at a monthly timestep. Parameters include biomass, consumption, mortality, diet, landings, discards, dispersal rates, ecosystem indicators, environmental preferences, and habitat maps for 83 species or functional groups included in the model. Each input or output parameter type is included as its own csv or netcdf file with informative names.
