(2010, methodology): “Effects of different field and lab procedures, in many cases, are relativelyminor (Furse et al., 2006; Borja et al., 2007) and in one case a common Europe-wide method has been developed (fish in rivers, Pont et al., 2006, 2007).”
• Assessing the health of European rivers using functional ecological guilds of fish communities: standardising species classification and approaches to metric selection (2007, methodology): “This classification was expanded into a river basin/river region-specific scheme to allow the development of ichthyo-graphical regions within Europe (Reyjol, Hugueny, Pont, Bianco, Beier, Caiola, Casals, Cowx, Economou, Ferreira, Haidvogl, Noble, De Sostoa, Vigneron & Virbickas 2007) for use in the ”
• Effective monitoring of freshwater fish (2019, background): “However, capturing fish in longer river reaches using electrofishing or trawling might be more suitable where the monitoring aim is to assess biological/ecological integrity, as the indices require data at multiple organization levels, from size structure to assemblage richness (e.g. Noble et al., 2”
