The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each
18、member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
19、 Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
20、adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

EN ISO 19493:2007vIntroduction Surveys of benthic marine algae and fauna on hard substrates represent an important part of marine environmental surveys. The species compositio
23、n, both in terms of the species present and their relative abundances, is a result of the natural and anthropogenic environmental factors at the survey site. Natural factors that influence species composition include wave exposure, depth, salinity, nutrient level, type of substrate, slope, orientati
24、on, turbidity, current, temperature and grazing. Anthropogenic factors include pollution (e.g. oil, contaminants, particles), physical disturbance, elevated nutrient levels and effects from fisheries. A number of different methods are being used to investigate flora and fauna on hard substrate accor
25、ding to the survey aim and the type of biotope surveyed. To allow environmental authorities and others to make use of this knowledge, it is essential that surveys are intercomparable in time and space, as well as between operators, and that the data are of a high quality. This International Standard
26、 is based on a limited selection of methods that allow precise documentation, that are replicable and which have been tested over many years. In choosing methods for this standard, semi-quantitative and quantitative techniques have been emphasized, such that species and quantities can be related to
27、a known area of sea floor. For the purposes of this International Standard, hard substrate is defined as bedrock, stable rocks and fixed marine constructions (e.g. pipelines and quays). The main focus is on biological surveys based on species that can be recorded in the field (i.e. that are visible
28、to the naked eye). The guidelines are applicable to seagrass communities and their epiflora and epifauna. They can also be used for surveys of stable substrates comprising loose pebbles/boulders, stone blocks, coarse gravel and other loose material as well as bedrock covered with loose sediment, but
29、 in general, such substrates require specially adapted techniques. Additional methods are usually required for surveys in depths greater than approximately 30 m. For sediment sampling in marine areas, refer to ISO 5667-19. For surveys of sublittoral soft-bottom fauna, see ISO 16665. EN ISO 19493:200
30、7blank1Water quality Guidance on marine biological surveys of hard-substrate communities 1 Scope This International Standard provides guidance for marine biological surveys of supralittoral, eulittoral and sublittoral hard substrate for environmental impact assessment and monitoring in coastal areas
31、. This International Standard comprises development of the sampling programme, survey methods, species identification, and storage of data and collected material. This International Standard specifies the minimum requirements for environmental monitoring. The methods are limited to surveys and semi-
32、quantitative and quantitative recording techniques that cause little destruction of the fauna and flora. In practice, this refers to direct recording in the field and photography. Sampling by scraping off organisms, use of a suction sampler, etc. are not covered in this International Standard, but s
33、uch techniques can be used as a supplement to obtain information on small-sized species or those that live hidden. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 area of influence area influenced or expected to be influenced, based on the av
34、ailable information 2.2 biotope area of uniform environmental conditions (habitat) and its characteristic assemblage of plant and/or animal species EXAMPLE Laminaria hyperborea community (cuvie or tangleweed), knotted wrack community, blue mussel belt. 2.3 macroscopic organisms algae and animals tha
35、t are visible without magnification equipment (W 1 mm) and which can be recorded in the field NOTE Certain macroscopic organisms can require microscopic inspection for identification. For microscopy of collected material, the lower size limit is set to 1 mm. EN ISO 19493:20072 2.4 hard substrate sub
36、strate consisting of bedrock, larger rocks/stones or fixed marine constructions such as wharfs, quays and pipelines NOTE For the purpose of this International Standard, hard substrate can also include other substrates that are not likely to be moved or turned over during a reasonable time period so
37、that perennial species communities are likely to develop (e.g. pebbles and stones in sheltered environments). 2.5 hard substrate flora and fauna attached algae and animals, together with relatively stationary animals living on or in close association with hard substrate EXAMPLE Attached: kelp, seawe
38、eds, sponges, bryozoans, corals, mussels, barnacles, ascidians. Relatively stationary: snails, sea-urchins, crabs. 2.6 supralittoral zone zone above the eulittoral zone, which is reached by spray water NOTE Its upper limit is normally determined by the upper limit of Verrucaria (black lichen belt),
39、blue-green algae (usually Calothrix scopulorum) or littorinid snails. 2.7 eulittoral zone marine intertidal zone which is submersed and emerged, either periodically due to tides or aperiodically due to irregularly occurring factors, as in the enclosed seas of the Baltic or the Mediterranean NOTE Bio
40、logically, this zone is defined as the zone between the upper limit of barnacles and the upper limit of laminarians. In the Baltic where there is no tide, the eulittoral zone is the zone of short-lived annual algae. 2.8 sublittoral zone zone below the eulittoral zone, which is submersed with the upp
41、er part at extreme low water levels occasionally emerging NOTE 1 In this International Standard, the lower limit is set by the deepest occurring algae. NOTE 2 This is also referred to as the subtidal zone. NOTE 3 Biologically, this zone is defined as the zone between the upper limit of laminarians a
42、nd the lower limit of algal vegetation (see Annex C). 2.9 level of exposure level of wave and current exposure at a site 2.10 receiving water body water body which receives an input of material, of either natural or anthropogenic origin NOTE The term often appears in the context of contamination (fo
43、r example effluent from municipal waste water outlets or industrial processed water). Receiving water body surveys describe the state of contamination in a given area. 2.11 sampling station precise location where recording is carried out and any samples collected NOTE A sampling station is defined b
44、y its geographical position (OS National Grid Reference, latitude, longitude), its depth (relative to chart datum and normalized to mean low water as given in tide tables) and any other information on physical conditions (e.g. substrate type, slope and orientation). EN ISO 19493:200732.12 reference
45、station one or more sampling stations chosen to represent environmental conditions in a given area, i.e. free from direct anthropogenic influences 2.13 baseline survey survey with emphasis on characterization and description of biotic and abiotic conditions in the survey area, and which forms the ba
46、sis for future monitoring and/or follow-up surveys 2.14 temporal trend monitoring surveys of the hard substrate community in response to temporal changes in chemical and/or physical conditions in the surrounding waters to document either pollution or natural variation over time 2.15 ROV Remotely Ope
47、rated Vehicle remote-controlled underwater vehicle with video camera and often the possibility for mounting additional equipment such as sonar, manipulator arm, etc. 3 Quality and safety 3.1 Health and safety requirements 3.1.1 General All phases of hard substrate field work and sample processing sh
48、ould adhere strictly to national and international health and safety regulations. The main points are listed below. 3.1.2 Laboratory safety facilities A valid health and safety manual should be freely available in the institute or laboratory and the appropriate first aid supplies and emergency facil
49、ities (such as an eyewash station and a shower) should be installed. The laboratory and storage areas should further be equipped with point-ventilation outlets and preferably have a monitor for chemical levels in the air. 3.1.3 Requirements for diving For surveys that require diving, this should be carried out in accordance with the appropriate rules and regulations. The diver and others participating in the diving work are required to follow the national or international regulations implemented for the prevention of accidents and health risks. Diving and commun
