Overexploitation and climate change are increasingly causing unanticipated changes in marine ecosystems, such as higher variability in fish recruitment and shifts in species dominance. An ecosystem-based approach to fisheries attempts to address these effects by integrating populations, food webs and fish habitats at different scales. Ecosystem models represent indispensable tools to achieve this objective. However, a balanced research strategy is needed to avoid overly complex models. Ecosystem oceanography represents such a balanced strategy that relates ecosystem components and their interactions to climate change and exploitation. It aims at developing realistic and robust models at different levels of organisation and addressing specific questions in a global change context while systematically exploring the ever-increasing amount of biological and environmental data.
过度开发和气候变化正日益导致海洋生态系统发生意外变化，例如鱼类补充量的更高变异性和物种优势的转变。基于生态系统的渔业方法试图通过整合不同尺度的种群、食物网和鱼类栖息地来应对这些影响。生态系统模型是实现这一目标不可或缺的工具。然而，需要一种平衡的研究策略来避免模型过于复杂。生态系统海洋学就是这样一种平衡策略，它将生态系统组成部分及其相互作用与气候变化和开发联系起来。其目标是在不同组织层面开发现实且稳健的模型，并在全球变化背景下解决特定问题，同时系统地探索不断增加的生物和环境数据。
