        <SAMPLING_METHOD>Sampling is carried out in the deepest part of the lake with Ruttner sample bottle. Not stratified lakes: euphotic zone integrated sample. If lakes deepest parts depth is less than 2 m, sampling is done in depth 0,2 m and 1 m. If depth in lake parts is 2m or more, samples are collected in 0.2 m, 2 m, 4 m, 6 m depth till 2S. Stratified lakes: 1. Euphotic zone integrated sample. If depth of 2S is less or equal to depth of underneath border of metalimnion, samples are collected in 0.2 m, 2 m, 4 m, 6 m depths till 2S (till underneath border of metalimnion, include depth of underneath border of metalimnion). 2. Euphotic zone integrated sample. If depth of 2S is or exceeds the depth of underneath border of metalimnion, samples are collected in 0.2 m, 2 m, 4 m, 6 m depths till 2S (and till underneath border of metalimnion, not include depth of underneath border of metalimnion). 1 l sample, fixed. </SAMPLING_METHOD>
        <ANALYSIS_METHOD>Sub samples (1l each) from different depths (0.2 m, 2 m ... ) are intermingled to make one sample of 1 l. Sample of phytoplankton is concentrated using method of sedimentation and filtration from 1 l to 10 ml. Sample 10 ml is analyzed. </ANALYSIS_METHOD>

        <SAMPLING_METHOD>Multi-habitat integrated sampling designed for sampling major habitats in proportion to their presence within a sampling reach is carried out. A sample consists of 12 “sampling units” taken from all habitat types at the sampling site with a share of at least 8 % coverage. A “sampling unit" is a stationary sampling performed by positioning the net and disturbing the substrate in a quadratic area that equals 0,4 x 0,25 m( 1 minute). + 1 sample "by collecting" (we must collect 1 sample about 5-10 min.).
