To explore the historical evolution and current status of the EwE (Ecopath with Ecosim) modelling research, the core dataset and extended dataset were collected by topic retrieval and citation indexing methods from the "Web of Science" from 1984 to 2020. The bibliometric analysis and mapping knowledge were performed by CiteSpace software, focusing on literature distribution, research forces, research theme, and hotspot evolution. The results showed that the annual publications in the EwE model researches were increasing, covering multi-disciplinary fields. Christensen, Walters, and Pauly were representative scholars with an important role in model development and relevant international cooperation. In the early stage, EwE model was usually applied to solve ecosystem problems, including spatial-temporal dynamic of structure and function, and the ecosystem effects of fisheries. Currently, marine resource management, ecosystem modelling, marine protected areas and ecosystem indicators had become the key themes. The research hotspots shifted from model development and food web structure to ecosystem forecasting and resource management, which would provide scientific evidence for ecosystem-based aquatic resource management and the construction of protected area in marine.
为了探索 EwE（生态系统路径与生态系统模拟）模型研究的历史演变和现状，本研究采用主题检索和引文索引方法，从 1984 年至 2020 年在“Web of Science”核心合集数据库中收集了核心数据集和扩展数据集。运用 CiteSpace 软件进行文献计量分析和知识图谱绘制，重点分析文献分布、研究力量、研究主题和热点演化。结果表明，EwE 模型研究的年发文量呈增长趋势，涉及多学科领域。Christensen、Walters 和 Pauly 是具有模型开发和相关国际合作重要作用的代表性学者。早期，EwE 模型通常应用于解决生态系统问题，包括结构和功能的时空动态以及渔业对生态系统的影响。目前，海洋资源管理、生态系统建模、海洋保护区和生态系统指标已成为关键主题。研究热点已从模型开发和食物网结构转向生态系统预测和资源管理，这将为基于生态系统的水生资源管理和海洋保护区建设提供科学依据。
