Ecopath withEcosim was used to construct three ecosystem models (1971-1977, 1980-1989, and 1990-1995) and to compare differences inecosystem structure. In the 1970s, the system sustained high catches, and had large populations of a few planktivorous fish. Inthe 1980s, the planktivorous fish species were expanded (horse mackerel, mesopelagic fish, and other small pelagics), althoughanchovy and sardine biomass was reduced. Catches remained high in the 1980s and the system was well connected. In the 1990s,the system was severely stressed, catches were much lower and omnivory was reduced. Most of the energy flowed through fewpathways in the 1990s, and the energy was not transferred as efficiently up the trophic chain as in the 1980s. The fishery operatedat the highest trophic level during the 1980s and there are some indications of \u201cfishing down the foodweb\u201d in this ecosystembetween the 1980s and the 1990s. The high catches of sardine and hake in the 1970s are reflected in the high primary productionrequired (PPR) by those compartments; the high catches of horse mackerel in the 1980s are shown by the high PPR for horsemackerel. The overall PPR for the fishery was highest in the 1980s, when the system was fished at nearly the same intensity asthe 1970s, but the species taken were from higher trophic levels, requiring larger concentrations of primary production for theirown existence. The importance of ecosystem-environmental interactions are highlighted by the abundance of horse mackerel,mesopelagics, small pelagics, and hake in the 1980s and the reduced biomass of most species in the 1990s, not only due tooverfishing, but also due to the Benguela Ni\u00f1o that occurred in 1995. The system changed from an efficient ecosystem dominatedby only two planktivores (anchovy and sardine) in the 1970s, to a system of large resilience and a varied planktivore populationduring the 1980s. However, the system\u2019s resilience was lower, but its connectance was higher in the 1990s, where sardine wasmaking a comeback and the marine mammals were doing well until the Benguela Ni\u00f1o reduced the system to a state of lowermaturity.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Changes in the northern Benguela ecosystem over three decades: 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:58:19.190595","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":"Ecopath; Flow network analysis","Notes":null,"AnaPub":2004,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2004-02-11","DateCreate":"2004-02-11","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000189226500005","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":57357,"PubliDate":2004,"Pagination":"175-195","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"172","Issue":"2-4","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":42623,"SerRR":"Ecological Modelling.
