The Grass Carp Stocking Rate Model (AMUR/STOCK).

Abstract

The AMUR/STOCK model is a coupled plant growth and fish feeding and bioenergetics simulation model that evaluates the effectiveness of grass carp stocking rate strategies for controlling nuisance growth of aquatic plants under user-selected site conditions. This technical note (TN) describes the major components and some of the major assumptions of this simulation tool, and demonstrates the intended use of the model for evaluating proposed stocking rate strategies.
