Target code/description
5.1: Principle OneOutAllOut applied to maximum allowable concentrations from national legislation (Ord.161/2006) for each parameter (TP, NO3, NO2, NH4).
5.5: Percentile 90 of borttom oxygen saturation (warm season) should not be lower than the threshold value
5.6: Average biomass of opportunistic macroalgae expressed as ESGII (opportunistic/total biomass ratio percentage) does not exceed 40%.
5.3: At least 50% of Noctiluca scintillans biomass values do not exceed the threshold values: -cold season - 100mg/m3 -warm season - 350mg/m3
5.4: Percentile 90 of water transparency (warm season) should be higher than the threshold value
5.1: DIP and DIN to be maintained or decreased
5.3: At least 50% of Noctiluca scintillans biomass values do not exceed the threshold values: -cold season - 60mg/m3 -warm season - 240mg/m3
