The Dynamic Energy Budget theory unifies the commonalties between organisms, as prescribed by the implications of energetics, and links different levels of biological organisation (cells, organisms and populations). The theory presents simple mechanistic rules that describe the uptake and use of energy and nutrients and the consequences for physiological organization throughout an organism's life cycle. All living organisms are covered in a single quantitative framework, the predictions of which are tested against a variety of experimental results at a range of levels of organisation. The theory explains many general observations, such as the body size scaling relationships of certain physiological traits, and provides a theoretical underpinning to the method of indirect calorimetry. In each case, the theory is developed in elementary mathematical terms, but a more detailed discussion of the methodological aspects of mathematical modelling is also included.

A bioaccumulation model to predict, based on the concentration of contaminants in the water column, the concentration in mussels (Mytillus galloprovinciales) has been implemented and calibrated using experimental data from Thau lagoon (France). The model uses input data from a 3D biogeochemical model that provides biomasses in the different compartments, i.e. phytoplankton, zooplankton and bacteria; and from a 3D fate model that provides the concentrations in the water column as well as in the sediments. The bioaccumulation model is based on the Dynamic Energy Budget approach (DEB). The model predicts correctly the concentrations of several POPs families: PCDD/Fs and PCBs. This is the first step for developing a general screening tool able to predict the bioaccumulation of new chemicals in mussels based on its physico-chemical properties that will contribute to the B(bioaccumulative) and vB assessment. In addition, the model could be use by MS to convert measured concentrations in mussels to water concentrations for WFD (Water Framework Directive) compliance checking.
