ECOFF review and revision

ECOFF review and revision

 

ECOFFs are based on available MIC (and zone diameter) distributions.

As more data is generated there is a need to 

(1) add new ECOFFs and TECOFFs

(2) revise existing ECOFFs and TECOFFs

(3) remove ECOFFs/TECOFFs where data do not match criteria in SOP 10.1

Currently all MIC distributions are reviewed in accordance with criteria in SOP 10.1. Mostly this is by agent, but on occasion, by species. The table below lists reviewed and revised agents and species.
