TABLE 47.<br />
CALCULATION OF REFERENCE VALUES for lakes.<br />
Parameter Height (m) Reference value<br />
Number of fish species 1 0 – 100 J = 2.44 · Lake area 0.233<br />
101 – 300 J = 2.07 · Lake area 0.218<br />
> 300 J = 1.68 · Lake area 0.171<br />
Species diversity 2 all J = –0.0414 + 0.331 · ln (No. of fish species)<br />
Weight per effort 3 0 – 100 J = 3981 · Maximum depth –0.383<br />
101 – 300 J = 2511 · Maximum depth –0.383<br />
> 300 J = 1995 · Maximum depth –0.383<br />
Number per effort 3 0 – 100 J = 77.0 – 35.6 · log 10 (maximum depth)<br />
101 – 300 J = 36.0 – 13.1 · log 10 (maximum depth)<br />
> 300 J = 19.8 – 6.1 · log 10 (maximum depth)<br />
Proportion of piscivorous percids 4 all J = 0.481 – 0.0000615 · (total weight/effort)<br />
Proportion of piscivorous cyprinids 5 all J = 0.283 + 0.0000694 · (total weight/effort)<br />
1 Only fish species native to Sweden are included (see list of species). Lake area is expressed in<br />
hectares.<br />
2 Species diversity is calculated as Shannon-Wiener’s H’ = [W tot log 10 (W tot ) – ΣW i log 10 (W i )] / W tot<br />
where W tot is the total weight per effort <strong>and</strong> W i is the weight per effort for each species.<br />
3 Biomass <strong>and</strong> number are expressed as grams <strong>and</strong> number per effort, respectively. An effort constitutes<br />
one night’s fishing with a net using a st<strong>and</strong>ard method. Depth is expressed in metres.<br />
4 Piscivorous percids includes z<strong>and</strong>er (S<strong>and</strong>er lucioperca) <strong>and</strong> perch (Perca fluviatilis) more than<br />
150 mm in length. The parameter is only calculated for lakes where perch <strong>and</strong>/or z<strong>and</strong>er are<br />
caught.<br />
5 The following species are classified as cyprinids: asp (Aspius aspius), bleak (Alburnus alburnus),<br />
silver bream (Abramis bjoerkna, alt. Blicca bjoerkna), bream (Abramis brama), minnow (Phoxinus<br />
phoxinus), Zope (Abramis ballerus), ide (Leuciscus idus), roach (Rutilus rutilus), crucian carp<br />
(Carassius carassius), rudd (Rutilus erythrophthalmus, alt. Scardinius erythrophthalmus), dace<br />
(Leuciscus leuciscus), tench (Tinca tinca) <strong>and</strong> Baltic vimba (Abramis vimba alt Vimba vimba).<br />
The parameter is only calculated for lakes where cyprinids are caught.<br />
