Reproductive disorders - malformed embryos of amphipods data HOLAS 3
Description
This core indicator evaluates the status of the marine environment based on the presence of hazardous substances in the bottom sediments. The rate of embryo malformations indicates reproductive toxicity due to the presence of hazardous substances in the bottom sediments. The threshold value has not been achieved on all stations within each basin indicating that toxic effects of contaminants may be present. The variability of the malformation rate is much greater within a basin than between the Bothnian Sea and the Baltic proper.
This dataset displays the result of the indicator in HELCOM Assessment Scale 2 (Division of the Baltic Sea into 17 sub-basins).
Attribute information:
"HELCOM_ID" = Code of the HELCOM scale 4 assessment unit
"level_2" = name of subbasin
"Area (km2)" = Area of the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit
"L2" = ID for the HELCOM scale 2 assessment unit
"AULEVEL" = Assessment unit level used for the indicator
"STATUS" = Status of the indicator (“Achieve”, “Fail”, "Not assessed" or “Not applicable”)
