Abstract

To visualize or address complex real world problems, eliciting and mapping of a mental model is reasonable approach but it is far from sufficient by itself. In this article we present a system dynamics model. The purpose of the model is to develop a sustainable model for fish population, growth, and harvesting. The model was run through several important tests to determine its sensitivity to changing in key parameters and initial values with different scenarios and boundary conditions. Model results show that fish birth, growth, stocks and catch can be controlled quickly in different real-world changing conditions to maintain a sustainable fish population.
