• While at the Canadian Wildlife Service, Ken Drouillard developed a generalized avian bioaccumulation model, which accounts for contaminant dynamics in three compartments: the gut, the blood and fat tissues. The model can be scaled from birds to fish by considering both dietary digestion efficiencies and species-specific differences in metabolic rates.

• Heather Morrison at the Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed a meathematical model which uses known chemical concentrations in the water and sediments to predict concentrations of chemicals in aquatic biota. The model has proved an accurate predictor of toxic chemical levels in a wide variety of aquatic organisms and has become an important tool for managing contaminants at an ecosystem level.
