Integration rule type for parameters
OOAO (1434 or 100.0%)
Integration rule description for parameters
- the integration of the individual indicators by species under each criterion is carried out according to the rule "One Out All Out (OAAO)";
Integration rule type for criteria
OOAO (1434 or 100.0%)
Integration rule description for criteria
- the integration of the individual criteria for each species - under the "One Out All Out (OAAO)" rule;
- the integration of MRU for each species - under the "One Out All Out (OAAO)" rule;
- the assessment for the different groups of fish is formed by the percentage of species that are in "Good" status. The threshold value is 90%.
- the overall assessment under Descriptor 1 - Fish - under the "One Out All Out (OAAO)" rule, applied to all groups of non-commercial fish.
