usually is well oxygenated. Due to the high salinity and density of the inflowing water it either forms a layer that follows the sea floor or is interleaved at intermediate depths depending on its density. Inflows can only reach the deep basins of the central basin in the Baltic proper, if the volume is Last updated:

Most parts of Kattegat's bottom water suffered from hypoxia as oxygen levels below 4 ml/l were found in the bottom water. Below this oxygen level, the first signs of oxygen deficiency in marine Last updated:
