The USGS Southeast Ecological Science Center is offering a grant to support vital research aimed at extending and thoroughly testing the Greater Everglades Fish Model (GEFISH). This funding opportunity is specifically designed to enhance our understanding of small fish biomass dynamics within the Everglades freshwater marsh. The GEFISH model itself is a sophisticated tool that meticulously describes the intricate dynamics of a foundational food web. It encompasses key components such as primary producers, detritus, various invertebrate groups, invertebrate detritivores, and fish consumers, all categorized into distinct functional groups. This grant is for the purpose of refining and validating this crucial ecological model, contributing to more robust environmental insights.
