  abstract = {{E}cological indicators are useful tools to analyse and communicate historical changes in ecosystems and plausible future scenarios while evaluating environmental status. {H}ere we introduce a new plug-in to the {E}copath with {E}cosim ({E}w{E}) food web modelling approach, which is widely used to quantitatively describe aquatic ecosystems. {T}he plug-in ({ECOIND}) calculates standardized ecological indicators. {W}e describe the primary functionality of {ECOIND} and provide an example of its application in both static and temporal-spatial dynamic modelling, while we highlight several related features including a new taxonomy input database (species traits) and the ability to analyse input uncertainty on output results. {ECOIND} adds new capabilities to the widely used {E}w{E} food web modelling approach and enables broadening its applications into biodiversity and conservation-based frameworks to contribute to integrated ecosystem analyses.},
