Recent changes in environmental and ecological conditions are a major reason that established stock assessment macro-models no longer provide reliable estimates on the stock status of eastern Baltic cod (Gadus morhua). To account for a complex ecological system, an individual-based modelling approach is needed that turns the attention from the overall population to the individual fish, its metabolic processes, behaviour, and interaction with environmental conditions.
