Models / Simulators

IBASAM and  BIDASOA are two individual-based simulators that enable in silico experiments to be conducted on virtual populations of salmon and trout. They explicitly model the effect of environmental disturbances (climate change and river fragmentation) at the individual level on the fundamental processes of dispersal, migration, survival and reproduction.

By incorporating these individual effects into the species’ life cycle, they enable us to understand the demographic and genetic consequences for populations.
