ERDC TN-SWWRP-10-1, Integration of an Individual-Based Fish Bioenergetics Model into a Spatially Explicit Water Quality Model (CE-QUAL-ICM)
نویسنده
چکیده
PURPOSE: This technical note presents the results of incorporating a fish bioenergetics module into CE-QUAL-ICM, a spatially explicit eutrophication model. In addition to fish consumption of algae, zooplankton, and detritus, fish biomass accumulation and recycling to the water column are explicitly accounted for. Schools of fish are tracked individually, allowing for spatial resolution of their effects on phytoplankton and nutrient loading. These developments allow for investtigations of the impact of planktivorous fish on water quality through consumption of algae and nutrient export via mass sequestering during growth. The formulation details of the new model system are outlined in this technical note.

متن کاملDetermining the best water quality model for the rivers in north of Iran (case study: Pasikhan River)
The aim of this paper is to study the popular models used for the simulation of major elements of a water quality system. The present study compares results of the CE-QUAL-W2 model with the WASP5 and MIKE11 models to assess the water quality of Pasikhan River. The contaminant loadings of Nitrate and Phosphate are utilized in the CE-QUAL-W2, WASP5 and MIKE11 simulations. This study is the first ...
متن کاملERDC/EL TR-13-13 "Phytoplankton as Particles – A New Approach to Modeling Algal Blooms"
The authors investigate the hypothesis that phytoplankton blooms can be modeled by treating phytoplankton as discrete particles capable of selfinduced transport via buoyancy regulation or other behaviors. A particletracking model is inserted into the CE-QUAL-ICM eutrophication model. Phytoplankton are quantified as carbonaceous biomass attached to the particles. Kinetics are adapted from CE-QUA...

The Corps of Engineers Integrated Compartment Water Quality Model (CE-QUAL-ICM or simply ICM) was designed to be a flexible, widely applicable eutrophication model. Ecopath with Ecosim (EWE) is a freely distributed network model supported by the Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia. This study aimed to develop a coupling between the two models so that they could be used, in combinat...
متن کاملAssessment of Ilam Reservoir Eutrophication Response in Controlling Water Inflow
In this research, a 2D laterally averaged model of hydrodynamics and water quality, CE-QUAL-W2, was applied to simulate water quality parameters in the Ilam reservoir. The water quality of Ilam reservoir was obtained between mesotrophic and eutrophic based on the measured data including chlorophyll a, total phosphorus and subsurface oxygen saturation. The CE-QUAL-W2 model was calibrated and ver...
