IBM Code and Data Description Associated with Ivan, L.N., T.O. Brenden, I.F. Standish, and M. Faisal. In press. Individual-based model evaluation of using vaccinated hatchery fish to minimize disease spread in wild fish populations. Ecosphere

The Fortran code and description of input data needed for running the code is provided for the individual-based model described in Ivan, L.N., T.O. Brenden, I.F. Standish, and M. Faisal. In press. Individual-based model evaluation of using vaccinated hatchery fish to minimize disease spread in wild fish populations. Ecosphere. <br><br>The model is designed to test the potential benefits of releasing vaccinated hatchery fish for limiting disease spread of a VHS-like disease in a Chinook salmon population in Lake Michigan. However, other fall spawning species and disease parameters can be utilized if desired so long as they fit the equations/assumptions used in this model. For example, the current model is set up for fall spawners with young hatching in spring and exiting rivers and entering the model domain in spring.<br><br>readme.txt - Description of the IBM, steps for running, and description of the input files the IBM is expecting.<br><br>Weight.csv - Age-specific means and standard deviations for Normal distributions for generating weights-at-age of super-individuals at model initialization.<br><br>VHS_IBM_Final.f95 - IBM model programmed in Fortran (expects a gfortran compiler)<br><br>

本数据集包含Ivan L.N.、Brenden T.O.、Standish I.F.与Faisal M.已录用待刊于《生态圈》（*Ecosphere*）的研究中提出的基于个体的模型（individual-based model, IBM）的Fortran代码，以及运行该代码所需的输入数据说明。

该模型旨在检验放流免疫孵化场鱼苗对限制密歇根湖奇努克鲑（Chinook salmon）种群中类似病毒性出血性败血症（viral hemorrhagic septicemia, VHS）的疾病传播的潜在效益。若符合本模型所采用的方程与假设条件，也可适配其他秋季产卵物种及疾病参数。例如，当前模型针对的是秋季产卵、幼体于春季孵化并离开河流、春季进入模型研究区域的物种。

readme.txt：包含该基于个体的模型的相关说明、运行步骤，以及模型所需的输入文件说明。

Weight.csv：存储用于在模型初始化阶段生成超级个体按年龄分级的体重的正态分布均值与标准差。

VHS_IBM_Final.f95：采用Fortran语言编写的基于个体的模型代码，需使用gfortran编译器编译运行。
