Eco-social Model 3 for Management and Exploitation Areas for Benthic Resources (MAEBRs), Open Access Areas (OAAs), and sustainable scenario (SS).

The community (Jacob-Levins) matrix with the semi-quantitative effect of <i>j</i> variable to <i>i</i> variable and the Hessian matrix are shown. The local stability measures of Routh-Hurwitz and Levins (<i>Fn</i>) criteria for MEABRs, OAAs and sustainable scenarios are also summarized. First criterion (1°C) describes stability condition of the system, the second criterion (2°C) determine asymptotic or oscillation condition. The <i>Fn</i> is defined by holistic sustainability [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0176163#pone.0176163.ref025" target="_blank">25</a>].The assumptions included were changes in the self-dynamic (damped ‘-‘ [small circle] and/or enhanced ‘+’ [small arrow]) for fishers, macroalgae and herbivores.</p> 2017-04-28 17:43:47 fishery function OAA Benthic Resources seaweed harvest central-northern Chile Exploitation Areas intervention ecosystem health demand changes regime fishing dynamics MAEBR sustainability market demand artisanal fisheries Open Access Areas eco-social models network analysis stability GFF self-negative feedback
