TABLE 48. (Contd.) Proportion of alien species 5 Class Description 1 No or insignificant deviation 0 2 Slight deviation 0 – 0.01 3 Significant deviation 0.01 – 0.02 4 Large deviation 0.02 – 0.05 5 Very large deviation > 0.05 Overall index 6 Class Description 1 No or insignificant deviation < 2.8 2 Slight deviation 2.8 – 3.3 3 Significant deviation 3.3 – 4.5 4 Large deviation 4.5 – 4.9 5 Very large deviation ≥ 4.9 1 Only fish species native to Sweden are included. The reference value (J) is calculated as follows: J = 1.19 + 0.71 · [Log 10 (Width)] + 0.419 · [Catchment] + 0.142 · [Lake percentage] – 0.0019 · [Height above sea level] using the class values below for the catchment areas and percentage of lakes. Width and height are expressed in metres. Class Catchment Percentage of catchment upstream comprising lakes 1 < 10 km 2 10 % The deviation is then calculated as the ratio between the recorded value and the reference value. 2 Biomass and number are expressed per 100 m 2 . 3 At localities where salmonids occur (char, grayling, trout or salmon), a calculation of the number these four species having yearlings (recruitment) is ascertained. The number of breeding species is divided by the number of species of salmonids. 4 Presence of species and stages sensitive to acidification. a) High density of yearling trout and/or presence of yearling salmon, roach or minnow. b) Presence of cyprinids, gudgeon (Cottus gobio), stone loach (Noemacheilus barbatulus), spined loach, Wels (Siluris glanis) or crayfish and/or occurrence of yearling burbot, grayling or char. c) Presence of bullhead, ruffe, burbot, grayling, char, whitefish, vendace, salmon or eel (Anguilla anguilla) and/or presence of yearling trout or perch. d) Only fish present are perch, pike or mature trout (older than yearlings). e) Absence of species. 5 Calculated as percentage by weight of fish species not native to Sweden out of the total catch. 6 The overall assessment of deviation is obtained by calculating the mean class value for all parameters included (maximum 7 parameters). 80
