30 each metric and for each stream type and are, thus, an integral part of the stream type-specific approach. • The Multimetric Index is calculated as the mean of the [0;1] scored values of all core metrics. • The Multimetric Index is calculated as the weighted mean of the scores of individual metrics. The metric “Fauna Index” (LTI in case of Type 21) always accounts for 50% of the final result. Exceptions are the subtypes 6_K and 9.1_K and type 23, for which the Multimetric Index is calculated as the average of all contributing metrics, since no Fauna Index has yet been defined. • The result of the Multimetric Index is always transferred into a quality class by: high: > 0.8 good: > 0.6-0.8 moderate: > 0.4-0.6 poor: > 0.2-0,4. bad:
