Definition and/or background
The following is from Fulton et al (2004a) -
...
fisheries, birds and mammals
Taxa
Data required
The following is from Fulton et al 2004a -
...
Should be suitable for all ecosystems, though these indices have only been tested for benthic communities in the North Sea and fish communities in the north-east Atlantic (Rogers et al. 1999 in Jennings et al. 2001).
Identified capability
Is there any additional information that would be of interest in regards to the identified capability?
Otherwise can leave this section blank and just fill in the table instead.
Biological classification level
Is there any additional information that would be of interest in regards to the biological classification?
Otherwise can leave this section blank and just fill in the table instead.
Response variable
Is there any additional information that would be of interest in regards to the response variable?
Otherwise can leave this section blank and just fill in the table instead.
Drivers
Is there any additional information that would be of interest in regards to ecological drivers?
If not can leave this section blank and just fill in the table instead.
Robustness
The following is from Fulton et al 2004a -
...
Réyni index:Medium, it may be useful for comparing community diversity, but the approach may suffer from at least some of the problems mentioned above as dogging standard diversity indices.
Current status and trends
what was it like in an undisturbed/unexploited system?
how would it be expected to change?
which way is the indicator showing a population is going in? decreasing or increasing ??
Management strategies and/or objectives
define a standard set of management objectives?? ie from Indiseas
- Conservations biodiversity
- Ecosystem stability and resistance to perturbations
- ecosystem structure and functioning
- resource potential
has it been used in a management strategy? if so how?
relationship to management strategies/ objectives
Stakeholder/public acceptability
Acceptability with stakeholders
- by all stakeholder
- by the public
- understandable to the stakeholders
