North West Shelf Joint Environmental Management Study:InVitro Inputs - Contaminant Overview

The North West Shelf JEMS included development of explicit models of the interaction of industrial developments which produce contaminant plumes, with the fauna in the waters affected by the plumes. The specific sub-models used in simulating these interactions are described, and avenues for richer models which incorporate sublethal effects, are discussed in Section 10 of the companion operating model report by Fulton et al.(2006).
