The proposed fuzzy inference model assesses the combined effect of the interactions among the most significant stressors on the fish population of the lake, i.e. industrial pollution, pesticide and nutrient usage due to agricultural activities and water level decrease due to irrigation works. Apart from the experts' knowledge, expressed in a set of fuzzy rules, a number of parameters such as pH, con
