In the Skagerrak the surface salinity was >30 psu with exception of the easterly station of the Å cross section, where the salinity was 24 psu depending on the transit of the Baltic Current. Oxygen concentrations below 2 ml/l was found from 70 m in the Bornholm Basin and generally at depths exceeding 80 to 90 metres in the whole Baltic Proper.
