La aplicación del Enfoque de ecosistemas en la pesca para la ordenación pesquera requiere el empleo de métodos y herramientas científicas que van mas allá de los enfoques monoespecíficos que tradicionalmente han sido las principales fuentes de las recomendaciones científicas. Este documento aborda todos los pasos del proceso de modelación, incluyendo el alcance y especificación del modelo, la implementación, evaluación y recomendaciones de cómo presentar y usar los resultados. El objetivo general de estas orientaciones es contribuir a asegurar que la mejor información y recomendación posibles sean generadas de los modelos de ecosistema y empleadas sensatamente en la ordenación pesquera.
