The marine biogeochemical model PISCES is embedded in two ocean modelling platforms, NEMO and CROCO, which cover a wide range of scientific objectives from global to regional scales.
- NEMO is a global ocean model used for research, operational services and climate science.
- PISCES is embedded in the NEMO-TOP component, which models the on/off-line transport of passive tracers.

- CROCO aims to resolve coastal and regional fine-scale ocean processes.
- PISCES is one of the four biogeochemical models that can be activated in CROCO.
