Lab 13: Eating Nemo: A More Advanced Ecosystems Model In this lab, you will be creating a more advanced model that represents a fish ecosystem. You have fish swimming around eating plankton and having fun! The fish die if they can’t find enough plankton and have fishlettes if they can eat enough plankton. The fish are eaten by sharks that also want to thrive too! The sharks eat fish to gain energy, have sharklettes if they have enough fish to eat and die when they have no energy! You can use the model you developed in week 7 as the start of the model for this week or you can start over! The Ecosystem Model: The model has the following requirements: Change your world On the interface tab, choose settings and change the max-pxcor, and max-pycor (suggestion: 100). Also change the size of your patches (suggestion: 3). The world wraps around! Your agents live on a doughnut! Change the color of your world to a blue because Nemo lives in the ocean! Here are the color numbers for blues! There are Fish and Sharks in your world! Create two breeds of agents (fishes/fish and sharks/shark or something like that). Make sure they are both fish shaped. Add two sliders that allow you to change the initial number of fish and sharks.
