National environmental monitoring
Last changed: 21 January 2022
Every year an extensive integrated monitoring is performed to survey the status and health of fish communities. The program includes community monitoring of coastal fish species, measure of reproductive success, growth and physiological health condition, and concentrations of environmental toxins in the indicator species perch and eelpout.
