The first term models growth of algae due to collisions of the particle with algae in the surrounding seawater, where $`A_A`$ is the ambient algal amount, $`\beta_A`$ is the encounter kernel rate, $`\theta_{\text{Plastic}}`$ is the surface area of the plastic particle. The second term models the growth of the biofilm, where the growth term $`\mu_A`$ is computed from the total productivity provided by model output. The third and fourth terms model the (grazing) mortality and respiration of the biofilm respectively. As in [@Kooi2017](http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.6b04702), we use constant mortality $`\m_A`$ and respiration $`R_{20}`$ rates, with a temperature dependent term $`\big(Q_{10}^{(T-20)/10}\big)`$ included in the respiration component (see [@Kooi2017](http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.6b04702) for more details).

As described above, the modelled attached algal growth drives a change in the settling velocity of the biofouled particle, $`\mathbf{v}_{\text{Biofouling}}`$. Hence, we model the additional behaviour of the particle due to biofouling as
