Mean distributions of biomass density of two tuna populations with contrasted life history and spatial dynamics, predicted by the reference SEAPODYM models.

Fishing for parallelisation strategies

"This work is the first phase of the SEAPODYM parallelization project, and given the very encouraging results and perspectives, I will be looking forward to continuing our collaboration."
