The temperatures varied between 9.3°C in the northern Batlic proper and 12.5°C in the Skagerrak. Nutrient concentrations were generally normal for the season with a few exceptions. The bottom water oxygen deficiency in the southeastern Katteagatt was restored to normal oxygen concentrations. In the Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

Low oxygen concentrations were found in the Laholm Bay 0.16 ml/l, in Skälderviken, 0.64 ml/l and in the Sound, just around 1 ml/l. In the rest of Kattegat, bottom water oxygen concentrations varied between 2 and 4.5 ml/l, highest in the northern part. Last updated: Apr 23, 2014
