AQUATOX is a PC-based ecosystem model that predicts the fate of nutrients and organic chemicals in water bodies as well as their direct and indirect effects on the resident organisms. AQUATOX simulates the transfer of biomass and chemicals from one compartment of the ecosystem to another. Release 2.2 includes several minor updates to Release 2.1. These updates include: The model will now calculate reservoir retention time ; The calculation for light extinction due to blue-green algae was refined, and the model now calculates blue-green algae as a percentage of total algae ; There were minor corrections made related to the effects of excess temperature in plants, and calculation of initial conditions ; There is an improved algal parameter set and updated example applications ; There is an improved graphical user interface for more easily assigning toxicity data, and graphing model results
