review for the manuscript entitled “Modelling mussel (Mytilus spp.) microplastic accumulation."
Summary
This is a peer review document providing substantive feedback on a Dynamic Energy Budget model paper about microplastic accumulation in mussels, commenting on model calibration, data validation, and uncertainty analysis.
This is the review for the manuscript entitled "Modelling mussel (Mytilus spp.) microplastic accumulation."by Stamataki et al.First, I would like to apologise for the delay in reviewing the current manuscript, but the current situation did not allow me to do otherwise.In the current manuscript, a Dynamic Energy Budget model is developed aiming to simulate the uptake and excretion rate of microplastics, by two species of mussels at two different regions (North Sea and N. Ionian Sea).The authors claim that the biophysical regime (in this case chlorophyll and sea surface temperature) influences the accumulation rates in filter feeders.Overall, I think that the paper is well-written, without any major issues or inaccura-C1 OSD
