Abstract:
The comprehensive aquatic systems model (CASM), an aquatic food web-ecosystem model, was developed originally to explore relationships between food web structure and ecosystem function, and was then subsequently adapted to assess potential ecological risks posed by chemical contaminants. The present short communication presents the history of the CASM, describes the model structure, lists the outputs of the model, and introduces user-friendly versions of CASM applications that are being made publicly available.
