Below we see an explanation of how to read our pecies signs.
Species names are first displayed in Swedish. Then the Latin name. Then comes the Norwegian, English and finally the German name of the species. If the species name is missing in any language, that part is replaced with the Latin name.The following symbols have the maximum length, maximum weight and maximum age of the species. A ? means that the maximum number is unknown. A > means that the max number is at least that, but can be bigger, < means that the species is not bigger than that. A ~ means that the figure is approximate and there is not enough data to determine.All food preferences are what the species most often eats.In these places the species lives most often.The Red List addresses which species are at risk of disappearing from Sweden and why the species are endangered. At www.Artdabanken.se you can find Sweden’s red list. The red list groups Swedish populations of different species into nine different categories based on how endangered they are. As well, they group invasive species into different categories depending on their impact on the environment. Above, you can see the different codes and how they relate to each other:
