fish water: flowing or standing fresh waters which
needing protection or improvement in the quality and where the fish
lives or could live.
salmonid waters: fish water where fish such as salmon, trout, char,
Whitefish, vendace, smelt and trout lives or could live.
other fish water: fish water where fish such as Pike, perch, eel

or Mussels (Bivalvia);
Mussel water: coastal or brackish waters that need
protection or improvement in order to make it possible for mussels
to live and grow in these waters;
guide value: value to be pursued;
limit value: value that must not be exceeded or respected.
In addition, the terms and expressions the same meaning as in
the environmental code. Regulation (2006:1140).
Scope of application
section 4 of the Sea and the water authority may provide for
the fish water to be covered by this regulation.
Fish the waters must in such rules are classified as
salmonid waters or other fish water. Before the marine and
the water authority will notify such provisions to the hearing
County administrative boards concerned to the extent necessary.
Regulation (2011:632).
paragraph 5 of the rules of this regulation on the mussel water is applied
on the mussel water in Västra Götaland County by the County Administrative Board
prescribes.
Fish water
paragraph 6 of annex 1 gives limit values and guide values for
salmonid and other fish water. Marine and
the water authority may provide for guidance
the parameters for which guideline values are not specified in the annex,
If these comply with Sweden's membership in the European Union.
Environmental quality standards for a fish of water shall be fulfilled at the latest
within five years of this Regulation shall apply to
the water. Limit values may be exceeded or adhered to
only if the water naturally has been administered substances from
the surrounding land or if the particular specified in annex 1.
Regulation (2011:632).
section 7 of the County Board shall draw up the draft and establish
action programme for the fish water contained within the County. For
water that spans multiple counties, the relevant
provincial governments establish draft and establish a
Community action programme.
In the action programmes shall, in addition to the provisions of Chapter 5. 6 §

Control of water quality
section 10 of Each County Board is responsible for ensuring that the control takes place by
the quality of fish and mussel water within the County. Control
shall be done by analysis of water samples, other types of
measurements or other appropriate means. Regulation (2015:242).
10 a of the Sea and the water authority may, in the case of fish water
notify the methods of sampling and other methods
to verify that an environmental quality standard are followed and if
recognition of measurement results needed for control.

Mussel water announce the methods of sampling and
other methods to make sure that an environmental quality standard
and if the recognition of measurement results as needed
the control. Regulation (2015:242).
section 11 of the verification of the quality of a fish-or
clam waters shows that an environmental quality standard is not met,
the County Board shall examine whether this is due to a
accident, natural causes or pollution. When
the cause has been determined, the County Board shall take appropriate
measures.
section 12 quality of a fish water is considerably better than
the provisions of the environmental quality standards in annex 1,
Marine and water authority decide if a lower
sampling frequency than would otherwise apply. If such a

for deterioration of the water quality, the County Board may decide
that sampling is not needed. Regulation (2015:242).
Prohibition of increased pollution
