In this thesis, a mathematical model originally proposed by Suweis et al. (2019) is applied to analyze how the resilience of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the North Sea is influenced by the increasing globalization of the trade system. The model describes the evolution of national fish biomass as a function of ecological parameters (carrying capacity, growth rate) and anthropogenic variables (domestic consumption, trade network). The work is structured in two parts: the first involves reconstructing local dynamics through data collection and analysis; the second consists of applying and testing the aggregated model. The results reveal a loss of resilience and a risk of collapse for the considered species, as well as a correlation with the increasing connectivity of the fish trade network. The limitations of the study - mainly due to considering only a fraction of the global market - highlight the extent of interdependence among countries in different parts of the world and suggest the potential of the model in a broader context.
Nel presente elaborato si applica un modello matematico proposto originariamente da Suweis et al. (2019) per analizzare come la resilienza del merluzzo atlantico (Gadus morhua) nel Mare del Nord è influenzata dalla crescente globalizzazione del sistema commerciale. Il modello considera l’evoluzione della biomassa ittica nazionale in funzione di parametri ecologici (capacità portante, tasso di crescita) e variabili antropiche (consumo interno, rete di commercio). Il lavoro si articola in due parti: una di ricostruzione delle dinamiche locali attraverso la ricerca e l’analisi dei dati e una seconda di applicazione e test del modello aggregato. I risultati rivelano la perdita di resilienza e il rischio di collasso della specie considerata e la correlazione con l’aumento di connettività della matrice di adiacenza. I limiti dello studio, che risiedono nel fatto di considerare una frazione del mercato globale, fanno emergere la portata dell’interdipendenza tra Paesi in diverse parti del mondo e suggeriscono la potenzialità del modello in un contesto ampliato.

Abstract
In this thesis, a mathematical model originally proposed by Suweis et al. (2019) is applied to analyze how the resilience of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) in the North Sea is influenced by the increasing globalization of the trade system. The model describes the evolution of national fish biomass as a function of ecological parameters (carrying capacity, growth rate) and anthropogenic variables (domestic consumption, trade network). The work is structured in two parts: the first involves reconstructing local dynamics through data collection and analysis; the second consists of applying and testing the aggregated model. The results reveal a loss of resilience and a risk of collapse for the considered species, as well as a correlation with the increasing connectivity of the fish trade network. The limitations of the study - mainly due to considering only a fraction of the global market - highlight the extent of interdependence among countries in different parts of the world and suggest the potential of the model in a broader context.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
