Issues on Dynamic Cognitive Map modelling of purse-seine fishing skippers behavior

This paper focus on obtaining a qualitative dynamic model based on real world data taken from a real world qualitative system: the day to day behavior of purse seine fishing fleet skippers. The model is based on a dynamic cognitive mapping approach (rule based fuzzy cognitive maps - RB-FCM) where several developments had to be made in order to obtain a workable system. Most changes were due to timing issues, which are essential in the study of system dynamics but have traditionally been avoided in most dynamic cognitive maps modelling approaches.
