GES description |
GES is achieved if seasonal succession of dominating phytoplankton groups in assessment units are above threshold values:
BAL-EE-EGB-OFFSHORE = 0,74 %;
BAL-EE-GR-OFFSHORE = 0,69 %;
BAL-EE-GR-COASTAL= 0,67 %;
BAL-EE-NBP-OFFSHORE = 0,69 %;
BAL-GF-EE-EEEE_01 = 0,62 %;
BAL-GF-EE-EEEE_05 = 0,65 %.
GES is achieved if zooplankton mean size in assessment units are above threshold values:
BAL-EE-EGB-OFFSHORE = 5 μg;
BAL-EE-NBP-OFFSHORE = 5 μg;
BAL-EE-GF-OFFSHORE = 8,6 μg;
BAL-EE-GR-OFFSHORE = no threshold value set.
GES is achieved if zooplankton total stock in assessment units are above threshold values:
BAL-EE-EGB-OFFSHORE = 220 mg/m3;
BAL-EE-NBP-OFFSHORE = 220 mg/m3;
BAL-EE-GF-OFFSHORE = 125 mg/m3;
BAL-EE-GR-OFFSHORE = no threshold value set. |
