Abstract
An oil spill behavior and fates model (see paper by P. C. Cornillon et al. elsewhere in this volume) has been coupled to a fisheries model54 to produce dynamic simulations of the interactive effects between an oil spill and the cod fishery on Georges Bank, with impacts being projected into the commercial catch. Four trial cases are documented: spills occurring in December and April, with and without chemical treatment. Several systems problems are discussed, along with present and anticipated efforts to bring the set of models from its current preliminary state to one in which useful inferences may be drawn.
