There were also mostly normal levels of silicate, highest in the Baltic Sea and significantly lower levels Last updated:

SMHI performed an oxygen and nutrient mapping survey within SLU Aqua’s cruise; the International Bottom Trawl Survey (IBTS Q3), that covers the Skagerrak, North Sea and Kattegat. SMHI joins the cruise to perform CTD measurements in connection to each trawl and to take water samples for nutrients Last updated:

The nutrient concentration was overall at normal levels for the season. In the surface water in the Western Gotland Basin somewhat elevated concentrations of Last updated:

Before 1969, bi-products and used chemicals were discharged outside the factories, usually in the closest watercourse. The discharged pulp and chemicals were transported with the stream and accumulated in calm waters Last updated:

Baltic Sea leads the way for the world’s oceans

NewsOceanographyResearch
At first glance, the Baltic Sea region might appear to be of little interest to marine researchers who focus on the world’s oceans. The Baltic Sea is relatively shallow, has low salinity levels compared with the oceans and a narrow connection with the North Atlantic. However, this assumption couldn Last updated:
