These include: 1) The detritus biomass is not defined for several of the models; 2) The diet composition for a group does not sum to 1 for one of the models; and 3) EwE fails to estimate various parameters (EEs and group biomasses) for several of the models. If I run the models in EwE 5.1, I do not encounter these problems, so I am pretty sure that it has something to do with the new version of EwE or with the conversion of the models from one version to another. Any insights or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks, Candan Soykan csoykan@mail.sdsu.edu" assessed closed normal Ecopath 6: release 6.0.8 Database / Import minor fixed
