The biodiversity and total cell concentrations were both low in Skagerrak. The spring bloom forming species Skeletonema marinoi was found in highest cell numbers. In the Kattegat however, the species diversity and total cell numbers were high. Diatoms dominated and S. marinoi was found in highest …

In large parts of the deep water in the Baltic Proper the oxygen concentration was close to zero. Anoxic conditions, when hydrogen sulphide can form, were found in both the Western and the Eastern Gotland Basin from 80-90 meters depth. In the Bornholm Basin the oxygen concentration went down to 0.4 …
