    10 To facilitate exploration of alternative harvest regulation policies, the Ecosim default options are (1) or (2).  However, users can invoke the fleet/effort dynamics model by checking the box on the [[Ecosim parameters.htm|Ecosim parameters]] form. Input parameters must be set on the [[Fleet size dynamics.htm|Fleet size dynamics]] form.

    12 When the fleet/effort response option is invoked, using the checkbox on the Ecosim [[Run ecosim.htm|Run Ecosim]] form, Ecosim erases all previously entered time patterns for fishing efforts and fishing rates, and replaces these with simulated values generated as each simulation proceeds. The fleet/effort dynamics simulation model uses the idea that there are two time scales of fisher response:

    36 Here, ''I,,hg,,'' and ''p'' are fleet-specific response parameters. ''I,,hg,,'' is the income level needed for half maximum effort to be deployed and ''p'' is a “heterogeneity” parameter for fishers: high ''p'' values imply all fishers “see” income opportunity similarly, while low p values imply fishers “turn on” their effort over a wide range of mean incomes, as shown in Figure 3.12.
