Development of fish based ecological status assessment and classification methods of lake water bodies

 

Fisheries Research Institute of Slovenia in cooperation with Institute for Water of the Republic of Slovenia were investigating suitability of european fish based ecological status assessment method of alpine lakes for Slovenia considering the Water Framework Directive requirements (possible sampling approaches, metrics used, stressors considered, definition of reference conditions and boundary values). The aim was to propose the most suitable fish based ecological status assessment method of alpine lakes in Slovenia.

Remote sensing of large river hydromorphological characteristics and impact assessment on biotic communities

The project’s aim is to identify and compare impacts of different stressors (hydromorphological alterations, pollution, land use), acting on different spatial scales (reach, segment, catchment), on benthic macroinvertebrate and fish communities in Slovenian large rivers, as well as to analyse the comparability between field survey and remote sensing based hydromorphological...
