GLEAMS Decision Support System tools

Example Health Risk Scenarios

• Scenarios can be run under different bioconcentration levels to incorporate uncertainties associated with fish ecology (e.g. unconstrained movement ranges, size variability, age, etc.).

• Bioconcentration factors were calibrated to in situ fish tissue concentrations using a Monte Carlo-based optimization procedure.

• The range of bioconcentration factors allows the food web model to demonstrate a valid range of concentration predictions.

• Final integration with the Fox River GLEAMS IMS site is being completed this month – info below through a mapping (DSS) interface
