Table 4.6. Numerical Assessment Criteria (AC) for Baltic Sea organisms to assess biological effects.<br />
Values for Background Assessment Criteria (BAC) and Environmental Assessment Criteria (EAC) are given<br />
where available or relevant. Full details <strong>of</strong> AC and how <strong>the</strong>y have been derived can be found in <strong>the</strong> ICES<br />
SGIMC 2010, SGIMC 2011 and WKIMC 2009 <strong>report</strong>s on <strong>the</strong> ICES website and in <strong>the</strong> SGEH Background<br />
Documents for <strong>the</strong> individual biological effects methods. NOTE: All missing information will soon be<br />
available from <strong>the</strong> output <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ongoing <strong>project</strong>s mentioned.<br />
