The Bio Economic Seaweed Model (BESeM) for Modeling Kappaphycus Cultivation in Indonesia
摘要
A simple model was presented for simulating production and economics of tropical seaweed cultivation. The model has a limited number of parameters, which makes it easily amenable to other seaweeds and other sites. Parameter estimates were presented and uncertainties in parameter estimation were discussed. A simulation example suggests farmers can increase income by using cuttings with a higher weight than they are currently using. A literature review suggests still much need for further experimentation.
