Goal

Here: (4) release of artificially infested host fishes (site 3, n=1116 host fishes). Estimate of area of site 3: 194 quadrats * 0.25m2 = 48.5m2 being 1.8% of the entire area of site 3, which is 2694.4 m2. Spatial extent 2694 ha as reported. Reported project duration 7,0 year(s). Average survival 27,5% as reported.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
