A description of ALFISH, the ATLSS Landscape Fish Model is here. The latest sets of models runs for ALFISH in application to various hydrologic scenarios are available at the ATLSS ftp Site.

The below pages include several early slides of runs of the coupled Fish/Lower Trophic level model for ATLSS. Each is from a 5 year run and shows age distribution through time. There are two functional groups (Small fish is group 1 and Large fish is group 2) and the graphs illustrate the total age distribution over the entire region of the run (here this is WCA2A). The graphs are for marsh, which includes fish in solution holes, and ponds, which refer to areas that always remain wet. Thus there are four graphs corresponding to the combinations of these, with two graphs for each - one on arithmetic scale and one logarithmic. Also below are an overall vegetation map of South Florida (the GAP analysis map from Univ. of Florida), a single vegetation type map from that map shown in red - Cladium vegetation type 30 - to possibly pick out longer hydroperiod locations in WCA3A, and onthor single vegetation type from that map - Bacopa caroliniana - Utricularia vegetation type 41 - to possibly pick out longer hydroperiod locations in WCA3A.
