water was well mixed down to 30-40 meters. The levels of nutrients in the surface water (0-10 m) were low but had started to increase at some stations. The concentration of phosphate, dissolved inorganic nitrogen and silicate was lower than normal in the surface at Skagerak and Kattegat, the dissolved Last updated: Nov 19, 2019

Basin and in the Hanö Bight. In the surface water the nitrate concentrations were below the limit of detection and the phosphate concentrations were of the level 0.1-0.2 μmol/l. Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

respectively. A weakly developed halocline was observed between 5 and 15 meters. The surface layer temperature (0–10 m) had begun to increase somewhat but a clear and sharp thermocline was not noted. The spring bloom had consumed most of the nutrients in the surface layer and there were low concentrations of Last updated: Jul 05, 2019

akashiwo* that belongs to the Raphidophyceae was common at a couple of stations. The integrated chlorophyll concentrations were low but within normal for the month. At Släggö they were very low almost close to zero. The phytoplankton diversity and abundance were generally low at the Baltic stations and Last updated: Jan 29, 2021

Marine project. Involve stakeholder groups During the course of the project, the researchers and experts involved will conduct a continuous dialogue with stakeholder groups affected by the marine plan. They will be investigating the issues that exist, how information can be used in various decision-making and Last updated: Jan 19, 2024

coast in the mouth of the Gullmar´s fjord. The Kattegat and the Sound Surface water temperatures varied between 12.0 and 12.7OC, which is above average in May. The thermocline and halocline were both located at a depth of 7-8 metres, somewhat more shallow at Anholt E. The nutrient concentrations were Last updated: Apr 23, 2014

10 metres and the thermocline at 20 metres. In the Sound both the thermo- and halocline were at about 13 metres. The surface salinity was now normal, about 20 psu. The phosphate concentration in the Kattegat was 0.05 µmol/l and in the Sound higher than normal, 0.24 µmol/l. The nitrate concentrations Last updated: Apr 23, 2014
