title: A qualitative ecological model to support mariculture pond water quality management.
abstract: A qualitative model of the ecology of a mariculture pond is described. The model represents ecological relationships in the form of a network of tableaux of inference rules which are scanned by a deductive reasoning mechanism to compute the values of pond water quality indicators, make forecasts and determine appropriate corrective and/or preventative maintenance actions.
