      abstract = {We present a computational model of fishing fleet dynamics  for the Queensland coral reef
line fishery. The model runs  in a two dimensional space with agents moving between  port
and the collection of available reefs. The model of  rationality is based on the haystack models
of game theory,  such that the agents are aware of what other boats are  doing and seek to
maximise yield with consideration of the  extent to which they can trust the other boats. The
core  decision making by the boats depends on three elements: The  expected number of fish
at a reef, the influence of its  peers and the costs involved in making the trip. The  software
allows graphical visualisation of the emergent  dynamics and generates numerous statistical
measures by  which it can undergo sensitivity analysis and be calibrated  against real world
datasets.},
