Real-world problems can be formulated as distributed constraint satisfaction problems. Marine resources are subject to certain constraints relating to their physical design, their interactions and legal requirements. Decision making is a major problem since the resource management is distributed and threatened by socio economic activities and environmental factors. A target species with high consumption demand (rabbitfish) is modelled using a system dynamic model builder as a prey agent of the system and predators as the predator agents, other agents including primary production and fishing and aggregation gears are also used. Primary productivity and Predators through aggregation, exploitation and predation affects the population dynamics of the prey agent. Modelling and simulation helps increase the understanding of the behaviour of the prey fish and help explore th.. Read More»
