摘要：Social-ecological resilience is an increasingly central paradigm for understanding sustainable resourcemanagement. In this study, we aimed to better understand the effect of environmental variability on the resilience of fisherysystems, and the important role that social institutions and biophysical constraints play. To explore these issues, we built adynamic model of the pen shell fishery of the indigenous Seri people in the Gulf of California, Mexico. This model includedthe dynamics of the two dominant species in the fishery (Atrina tuberculosa and Pinna rugosa), several institutional rules thatthe Seri use, and a number of ecological constraints, including key stochastic variables derived from empirical data. We foundthat modeling with multiple species, rather than the standard one-species model, uncovered more of the resilience that is presentin the system. We also found that it is the combination of several social-ecological rules working in conjunction with theendogenous environmental variability that helps ensure the resilience of the system
