  abstract = {{T}he possible use of chemical concentrations measured in mussels ({M}ytillus galloprovincialis) for compliance checking against {E}nvironmental {Q}uality {S}tandards ({EQS}) established for biota is analyzed with the help of an integrated model. {T}he model consists of a 3{D} planktonic module that provides biomasses in the different compartments, i.e., phytoplankton, zooplankton and bacteria; a 3{D} fate module that provides the concentrations of contaminants in the water column and in the sediments; and a 3{D} bioaccumulation module that calculates internal concentrations in relevant biotic compartments. {T}hese modules feed a 0{D} growth and bioaccumulation module for mussels, based on the {D}ynamic {E}nergy {B}udget ({DEB}) approach. {T}he integrated model has been applied to study the bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants ({POP}s) in the {T}hau lagoon ({F}rance). {T}he model correctly predicts the concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls ({PCB}s) and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and dibenzofurans ({PCDD}/{F}s) in mussels as a function of the concentrations in the water column and in phytoplankton. {I}t also sheds light on the origin of the complexity associated with the use of {EQS} for biota and their conversion to water column concentrations. {T}he integrated model is potentially useful for regulatory purposes, for example in the context of the {E}uropean {W}ater {F}ramework ({WFD}) and {M}arine {S}trategy {F}ramework {D}irectives ({MSFD}).},
