Popis: | Many fisheries management decisions require predictions of spatial dynamics, and simulation of realistic movement is critically important for accurately representing population-level dynamics with spatially explicit individual-based models (IBMs). Movement approaches developed to date have been applied across a wide range of spatiotemporal resolutions. We compared four movement approaches or submodels (restricted-area search, kinesis, event based, and run and tumble) using an IBM (roughly based on Bay Anchovy Anchoa mitchilli and Northern Anchovy Engraulis mordax) that simulated growth, mortality, and movement of a cohort on a two-dimensional grid. We evaluated the submodels in 2.7- × 2.7-km environments at five resolutions defined by various cell sizes and time steps. We used a genetic algorithm to calibrate each movement submodel over a 300-generation training phase and then tested the mean movement parameters for a single generation in the training environment and a novel environment.
