Phosphate concentrations in the Baltic Proper remain much higher than normal for the season. Silicate measurements also showed high levels, while nitrate levels were normal. Nutrient concentrations in the Skagerrak, Kattegat and Sound were normal. In the Baltic Proper oxygen concentrations below 2 Last updated:

The inflow that occurred in November/December 2011 had reached the southeast parts of the Baltic Proper and had started to enter the eastern Gotland Basin. Hydrogen sulphide was found in the western and eastern Gotland basin Last updated:

On the West Coast as well as in the Arkona Basin, all nutrients were almost depleted. A strong bloom was ongoing in the Hanö Bight and in the Bornholm Basin. In the remaining parts of the Baltic Proper winter conditions prevailed. The deep water in the Arkona and Bornholm Basins as well as in the Last updated:
