Abstract

A crucial step in the development of a fish-based index for the ecological assessment of water bodies as provided by the European Water Framework Directive is to define a reference list of fish species occurring in pristine rivers. The aim of this study was to elaborate such a list. The reference corresponds to an ecological status that is referred to as Good or Maximal Ecological Potential (GEP/MEP). Based on historically-reported fish survey data of the Zeeschelde estuary (Belgian part of the Schelde estuary) and its tributaries, i.e. an affluent system, under tidal influence, presence/absence reference lists were compiled for different salinity zones and adjusted using information from recent catches. In addition, an MEP list of fishes occurring in the Westerschelde (Dutch part of the Schelde estuary), developed by JAGER & KRANENBARG (2004), is provided to present a complete overview of the Schelde estuary. Inclusion of fish species in the reference lists depended on their natural geographical distribution and ecological demands. These reference lists contain guild-specific information for the different zones within the estuary and its tidal tributaries.

经过严重改造的过渡性水域鱼类物种参考清单：泽舍尔德河（比利时）

根据《欧洲水框架指令》（European Water Framework Directive）的规定，在开发用于水体生态评估的鱼类指数时，关键的一步是确定原始河流中鱼类物种的参考清单。本研究的目的就是制定这样一份清单。参考清单对应的生态状况被称为良好或最大生态潜力（GEP/MEP）。根据历史上报告的 Zeeschelde 河口（斯海尔德河口的比利时部分）及其支流（即受潮汐影响的汇入系统）的鱼类调查数据，编制了不同盐度区的存在/不存在参考清单，并利用近期捕获的信息进行了调整。此外，还提供了一份由 JAGER 和 KRANENBARG（2004 年）编制的 Westerschelde（斯海尔德河口的荷兰部分）出现的 MEP 鱼类清单，以全面介绍斯海尔德河口的情况。参考列表中是否包含鱼类物种取决于其自然地理分布和生态需求。这些参考清单包含河口及其潮汐支流内不同区域的特定种类信息。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
