| Model Name: | Costa Rica, Golfo de Nicoya |
| Year: | 0 |
| Remarks: | The Golfo de Nicoya is among the largest tropical estuaries in Central America and the main, and already overexploited, fishing area of Costa Rica. It can be separated into a shallow interior part fringed by mangroves and mud flats and a deeper part that extends to the shelf edge to about 200 m. In order to integrate available information on biomass, catches, food spectrum and dynamics of the main species populations of the system, a trophic model of 21 compartments was constructed by the use of the Ecopath II software. |
