This report explains the background and process for formulating a fish reference Frequency of Occurrence (FROC) database.
Purpose of the Reference FROC :
To provide consistent reference Frequency of Occurrence for more than 700 fish sites in South Africa.
In what context to use the data :
For applying:
- the Fish Response Assessment Index (FRAI)
- procedures that require a reference fish assemblage, for example extrapolation from known sites to unknown sites.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that users participate in training courses and contact the authors of this document when using the database.
