AlgSys_Bentho |
In
December 2000, the European Water Framework Directive (EU-WFD)
came into force. This directive stipulates that the ecological
status of water masses must be assessed. In order to do
so, several biological elements must be considered, including
benthic algae. As a result, it has become obligatory to
study the development and abundance of benthic communities.
BBE responded to this need by adapting the existing fluoroprobe
for use on attached algae. This was achieved by using a
fibre optic technique with a remote sensing end.
