Summary: | Abstract This chapter presents a brief review and description of some of the issues in modelling and the status of modelling efforts. It attempts to link and explain changes in climate and in pelagic marine communities in the North Atlantic systems, drawing from knowledge gained from studies of all oceans. The chapter's structure is as follows. First, it briefly discusses aspects of the relationship between variability in the environment and variability in marine populations. It then presents approaches that are being taken for understanding this variability and highlights areas where progress has been made. It ends with recommendations and suggestions for new approaches necessary for further advances. |
