“…Underestimation for sandeel is more troublesome as it is a key forage species in the North Sea (Engelhard et al, 2014), for which the stock assessment is considered to be very detailed with 7 stocks in the area (ICES, 2016). The fact that the Bioen-OSMOSE-NS model does not describe the peculiar overwintering behavior of this species, which buries itself in sand and thus is less vulnerable to fishing and predation in winter (Henriksen et al, 2021), may explain the underestimation of its biomass. The sandeel may also be over-consumed by higher tropic level species in our model, indicating a missing forage species or an over-consumption of sandeel over LTL forced prey.…”

Marine ecosystem models have been used to project the impacts of climate-induced changes in temperature and oxygen on biodiversity mainly through changes in species spatial distributions and primary production. However, fish populations may also respond to climatic pressures via physiological changes, leading to modifications in their life history that could either mitigate or worsen the consequences of climate change. Building on the individual-based multispecies ecosystem model OSMOSE, Bioen-OSMOSE has been developed to account for high trophic levels' physiological responses to temperature and oxygen in future climate projections. This paper presents an overview of the Bioen-OSMOSE model, mainly detailing the new developments. These consist in the implementation of a bioenergetic sub-model that mechanistically describes somatic growth, sexual maturation and reproduction as they emerge from the energy fluxes sustained by food intake under the hypotheses of a biphasic growth model and plastic maturation age and size represented by a maturation reaction norm. These fluxes depend on temperature and oxygen concentration, thus allowing plastic physiological responses to climate change. To illustrate the capabilities of Bioen-OSMOSE to represent realistic ecosystem dynamics, the model is applied to the North Sea ecosystem. The model outputs are confronted with population biomass, catch, maturity ogive, mean size-at-age and diet data of each species of the fish community. A first exploration of current species spatial variability in response to temperature or oxygen is presented in this paper. The model succeeds in reproducing observations, with good performances for all indicators. This new model development opens the scope for new fields of research such as the exploration of seasonal or spatial variation in life history in response to biotic and abiotic factors at the individual, population and community levels. Understanding such variability is crucial to improve our knowledge on potential climate change impacts on marine ecosystems and to make more reliable projections under climate change scenarios.

“…The lesser sandeel, Ammodytes marinus, is prey to many piscivorous fish, seabirds and marine mammals and the main sandeel species in one of the largest fisheries in the North Sea (Sparholt 1990, Engelhard et al 2014, Wanless et al 2018, Wilson & Hammond 2019, ICES 2022a. It is also a species with a strong site attachment following settlement as a juvenile, linked to the individuals' dependence on coarse sand into which they burrow at night and during periods of low temperature and plankton production (Wright et al 2000, Henriksen et al 2021. The main phase of dispersal occurs after the demersal eggs hatch (Régnier et al 2018) and before the juveniles settle, with the planktonic larvae being dispersed by currents (Proctor et al 1998, Christensen et al 2007, Wright et al 2019.…”

While concepts of connectivity are increasingly used in determining locations for marine protected areas, they are much less applied in the management of fish stocks, which are assumed to be well-mixed populations. However, due to seascape structure and often asymmetrical dispersal, the stocks of many species are unlikely to be well mixed and there is potential to enhance management by utilising emerging ecological modelling approaches that incorporate functional connectivity. Here, we apply a new model, MerMADE, that couples biophysical modelling of dispersal with spatial population demography, to predict within-stock patterns of connectivity of sandeels in the North Sea. By deriving origin- and destination-centrality measures, we highlight a set of key origin sites within the area occupied by the stock that contribute immigrants to many other sites and also identify patches that are particularly isolated, unlikely to receive immigrants from elsewhere. We show that the connectivity characteristics of the stock have a strong impact on how rapidly it recovers following a major harvesting event that leads to a patch depletion. Furthermore, the recovery of a local population will depend on the demographic status of the sites from which it can obtain immigrants. Thus, sites that provide strong out-centrality (especially if they themselves have weak in-centrality) and sites that are especially isolated should be harvested less heavily. To reduce the potential for local or regional stock collapse, models incorporating both biophysical dispersal and local demography are needed to support spatially explicit management of commercial marine species.
