Simulation model of the scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) farming in northern Chile: some applications in the decision making process

Aquaculture farming is a complex system integrating several disciplines, including biology, engineering and economics, all which need to be correctly intertwined to have a profitable and environmentally sustainable activity. During the past recent years, scallop (Argopectenpurpuratus) farmers in nor...
