Hierarchical multi step Gray Wolf optimization algorithm for energy systems optimization by Idriss Dagal, AL-Wesabi Ibrahim, Ambe Harrison, Wulfran Fendzi Mbasso, Ahmad O. Hourani, Ievgen Zaitsev

“…To address these limitations, this paper introduces the Hierarchical Multi-Step Gray Wolf Optimization (HMS-GWO) algorithm. HMS-GWO incorporates a novel hierarchical decision-making framework that more closely mimics the observed hierarchical behavior of wolf packs, enabling each wolf type (Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Omega) to execute a structured multi-step search process. …”

An extensive assessment of exploitation indicators for multispecies fisheries in the South China Sea to inform more practical and precise management in China by Kui Zhang, Li Su, Zuozhi Chen, Yongsong Qiu

“…Our uncertainty analysis showed that the catch-based model is less sensitive to parameters compared with the two length-based models considered here. We advocate for more practical and precise fisheries management in China, such as category/species-based management, further optimization and improvement of the fishing structure, development of a scientific quota-based system, ecosystem management that incorporates climate factors, and establishment of marine protected areas for fish species that are severely overfished or have high ecological value.…”
