We show that the natural or artificial origin of the lake has no impact on the precision of the fish metrics provided by the method and it provides more precise catch data in French lakes than in the Nordic countries. The precision of abundances and biomass depends on fish density, and thus on the trophic status of the lake sampled. We also show that the sampling effort advocated by standard is appropriate in French lakes despite its underestimation of species number and disregard of marginal habitats. Nevertheless in deep lakes, the sampling effort could be reduced in the deeper layers which are never informative.
