GES description
Meren ravintoverkkojen kaikki tekijät, siltä osin kuin ne tunnetaan, esiintyvät tavanomaisessa runsaudessaan ja monimuotoisuudessaan ja tasolla, joka varmistaa lajien pitkän aikavälin runsauden ja niiden lisääntymiskapasiteetin täydellisen säilymisen
Ekosysteemin rakenne mahdollistaa kaikkien luontotyyppien ja niihin liittyvien toiminnallisten eliöryhmien esiintymisen ja toiminnallisten eliöryhmien monimuotoisuus on taattu.
The relationship between multiannual algal species and short-lived opportunistic species
Huippupetojen populaatiot ovat terveitä ja tuottavia.
The size and development of the stock of seals (hallway and seal) over a long period of time
Kalakannat ovat terveitä ja tuottavia ja lajit esiintyvät tavanomaisissa runsauksissaan vallitsevien lämpötila- ja suolaisuusolojen puitteissa.
Abundance of fish (mainly crack, lagoon, stretcher) abundance in coastal waters
Kasvi- ja eläinplanktonyhteisöjen koostumus on tasapainoinen ja takaa energian siirtymisen ravintoverkon ylemmille tasoille.
Mean pig size stock ? indicator (MSTP, medium size vs. total), the animal plankton community: Reflects the abundance and structure of zooplankton and thus the quantity and quality of diet of plankton feeding
