A mathematical framework for zooplankton population dynamics modeling: individual-based approach

摘要

A mathematical framework for plankton population temporal-spatial variability and assessment is presented. The applied approach is based on equations describing the transport of plankton population numerical density and biomass, as well as aging and changing body' components of individual plankton orgnaisms, Equations for mean and variances dynamices of population organisms is also presented. A curvilinear mesh is used to improve the computational efficiency of the numerical algorithm, which is based on hte mehtod of component-by-component splitting.
