15、nt, at the latest by March 2016 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying an

16、y or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this

BS EN 16695:2015EN 16695:2015 (E) 4 Introduction The abundance or number of counting units of individual phytoplankton taxa does not necessarily reflect the real ratio of single taxa to the complete biomass of a phytoplankton com

19、munity. Few big cells/counting units can contribute far more biomass to the system than many small ones. Hence, abundance data alone is often not an ideal measurement of population size. Biomass estimations give very important information for ecological studies, classification schemes and ecosystem

20、modelling. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the biomass of phytoplankton taxa, particularly because phytoplankton delivers energy in the form of carbon, to other trophic levels of food webs. It is not possible to directly analyse the carbon content on the taxonomic level in natural phytoplank

21、ton samples, therefore the biovolume of the phytoplankton taxa is a suitable measure to determine the biomass of an ecosystem according to the taxonomic composition. Neither particle size analysis using laser analysis, nor flow cytometry, nor Coulter Counters, nor chemical analyses of chlorophyll-a

22、concentration as well as total carbon allow statements on the taxon level. An estimation of the carbon content is possible using conversion factors (see Annex C). Further, the biovolume is a quantitative basis for assessing hazards from those algae and cyanobacteria, which (can) contain noxious or t

23、oxic metabolites, and is used in combination with cell numbers or chlorophyll-a concentration within WHO guidelines and national regulations for risk assessments. Up to now, various guidelines for estimating the biovolume of microalgae have been used in different national and international monitorin

24、g programs (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4). The main objective of this document is the standardization of the procedure for determining the phytoplankton biovolume in order to achieve comparability of data. For this reason, the estimation of the biovolume in phytoplankton samples in sedimentation chambers (accord

25、ing to Utermhl) using an inverted microscope will be described in detail. This European Standard is also applicable for image analysis of pictures derived from microscope and flow cytometry cameras. The use of a standard catalogue containing basic and some composed geometrical shapes is recommended.

26、 Of course, such a standard list will not reflect the variety of all naturally existing shapes and will not match the exact biovolume values of each taxon. It will always be a compromise between accuracy and efficiency. However, the usage of agreed geometrical shapes and the application of the relev

27、ant formulae will improve the comparability of phytoplankton data and will be an important step forward for the implementation of quality assurance measures in phytoplankton analysis.
