TABLE 47. CALCULATION OF REFERENCE VALUES for lakes. Parameter Height (m) Reference value Number of fish species 1 0 – 100 J = 2.44 · Lake area 0.233 101 – 300 J = 2.07 · Lake area 0.218 > 300 J = 1.68 · Lake area 0.171 Species diversity 2 all J = –0.0414 + 0.331 · ln (No. of fish species) Weight per effort 3 0 – 100 J = 3981 · Maximum depth –0.383 101 – 300 J = 2511 · Maximum depth –0.383 > 300 J = 1995 · Maximum depth –0.383 Number per effort 3 0 – 100 J = 77.0 – 35.6 · log 10 (maximum depth) 101 – 300 J = 36.0 – 13.1 · log 10 (maximum depth) > 300 J = 19.8 – 6.1 · log 10 (maximum depth) Proportion of piscivorous percids 4 all J = 0.481 – 0.0000615 · (total weight/effort) Proportion of piscivorous cyprinids 5 all J = 0.283 + 0.0000694 · (total weight/effort) 1 Only fish species native to Sweden are included (see list of species). Lake area is expressed in hectares. 2 Species diversity is calculated as Shannon-Wiener’s H’ = [W tot log 10 (W tot ) – ΣW i log 10 (W i )] / W tot where W tot is the total weight per effort and W i is the weight per effort for each species. 3 Biomass and number are expressed as grams and number per effort, respectively. An effort constitutes one night’s fishing with a net using a standard method. Depth is expressed in metres. 4 Piscivorous percids includes zander (Sander lucioperca) and perch (Perca fluviatilis) more than 150 mm in length. The parameter is only calculated for lakes where perch and/or zander are caught. 5 The following species are classified as cyprinids: asp (Aspius aspius), bleak (Alburnus alburnus), silver bream (Abramis bjoerkna, alt. Blicca bjoerkna), bream (Abramis brama), minnow (Phoxinus phoxinus), Zope (Abramis ballerus), ide (Leuciscus idus), roach (Rutilus rutilus), crucian carp (Carassius carassius), rudd (Rutilus erythrophthalmus, alt. Scardinius erythrophthalmus), dace (Leuciscus leuciscus), tench (Tinca tinca) and Baltic vimba (Abramis vimba alt Vimba vimba). The parameter is only calculated for lakes where cyprinids are caught. 77
