Description parameter |
Guild specific composition and metric to be agreed at subregional/regional level also taking into account the outcome of current monitoring. |
Application of biodiveristy indices combining abundance and taxonomic data on Phytoplankton. Metric and appropriate taxonomic level to be agreed at subregional/regional level, also in the light of the outcomes of monitoring put in place. |
Application of biodiveristy indices combining abundance and taxonomic data on demersal fish meso-predators based on trawl survey data. Metric and appropriate guild composition to be agreed at subregional/regional level, also considering evindences from stable isotopes (in conjunction with literature data) on diet composition to identify species' trophic level and guild. Stable isotope analyses have been tested on few species and their application is being expanded on a larger number of species. |
Appropriate metric and methodological approach for assessment to be agreed at subregional/regional level also taking into account the outcome of current monitoring |
