THE FISHRAND SPATIALLY-EXPLICIT BIOACCUMULATION MODEL
von Stackelberg, K., M.A. Williams, and M.S. Johnson.
ESTCP Project ER-200917, 241 pp, 2014
Predictive models are required to evaluate the impact of potential contaminated sediment management alternatives. This project demonstrated the application at two Army sites of a probabilistic, spatially explicit, and dynamic bioaccumulation model, referred to as FishRand. Those results were compared to the currently accepted practice of a deterministic application and a probabilistic but not spatially explicit application. An application was developed for total PCBs, two individual PCB congeners, and three homologue groups at one site, and for DDT, DDE, and DDD at the other site. Since completion of this effort, the model has been updated to provide direct linkage to GIS files (go to http://el.erdc.usace.army.mil/trophictrace/-FR%20-%20FishRand.pdf
