In the deep water there were generally normal levels of both silicate and dissolved inorganic phosphorus, but in general slightly below normal concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen. Measurements of chlorophyll fluorescence showed increased activity Last updated:

water had generally increased since December. However, the content of dissolved inorganic nitrogen was lower than normal in the eastern parts of the Kattegat, with values of 3.3 – 4.6 µmol/l while in the Sound they were normal from 6.8 – 9.3 µmol/l.

Fluorescence measurements from the CTD indicated low plankton activity down to the thermocline in all visited sea areas. Last updated:
