To evaluate the impact of the NOAA fishing closures in the demersal fish stocks harvested in the West Florida Shelf an individual-based simulation model has been developed to generate spatially-explicit simulated catch data. The model contains the five most important species in the snapper-grouper complex: red grouper, gag grouper, red snapper, vermilion snapper, and mutton snapper and the fishing vessels that harvest them.
