FISHNETS is a tool designed for management of aquaculture, and impact on wild fisheries and conservation. The version you are using is a specific application  for the COEXIST project, funded by the European Union's Framework Programme 7, and results from a collaboration among IMAR (Portugal), CEFAS (U.K.), and IMR (Norway).

FISHNETS is a screening model, aimed at farmers and managers, which uses four screens to evaluate:
(i) Biosecurity aspects  of siting a new farm
(ii) Vulnerability of a particular species to disease
(iii) Optimization of culture practice
