Abstract

Many ecological systems have an ability to adapt themselves to environmental variations and the adaptability varies with the structures of systems. In the paper, as an example of ecological systems, two kinds of fish school models with different characteristics are presented for investigating the adaptability to environmental variations. The model parameters are estimated by using the observation data obtained from water tank experiments. Various simulations are carried out for the case where an obstacle is set in the behavior space. The adaptability to environmental variations is examined by using the simulation results
