Wow, they really have it backwards. They should start by looking at 
ecosystem modelling and then ask whether Ecosim fills the bill. I did some 
investigations of the North Sea with Ecosim and it really produces 
ridiculous results (www.bill.silvert.org/pdf, go to the bottom of the page 
for the Ecosim stuff).
