Abstract
This paper has several purposes: (a) to summarize the basic models of the steady state transport and fate of chemicals in aquatic systems including uptake and distribution in the aquatic food chain, (b) to illustrate the deterministic time variable behavior of chemical fate models with several applications to the Great Lakes and (c) to develop some statistical models of chemical variability in aquatic organisms, specifically, the fish.
