 In Ecosim we allow parallel simulation of one tracer or contaminant type while the biomass dynamics equations are being solved.  Tracer molecules are assumed to be either in the “environment”, or in the biota (in biomass and detritus pools) at any moment.  Molecules are assumed to flow between pools at instantaneous rates (i.e. to be sampled along with biomass during biomass flows at rates) equal to the probabilities of being “sampled” as part of the biomass flow: instantaneous rate=(flow)/(biomass in prey pool).  We also allow for direct flows from the environment into pools, representing direct uptake or absorption of the tracer material, and for differential decomposition/decay/export rates by pool and from the environmental pool.  Schematically, the flow of tracer molecules through any biomass pool is represented by the components shown below:
