Abstract
Phosphate, silicate, nitrite/nitrate, and ammonia were studied in a Norwegian land-locked fjord during 1973. In the surface water the concentrations were similar to what has been found in the North Sea, with the exception of silicate, which occurred in higher concentrations in winter. There were indications of nitrogen and silicate limitation. In the bottom water phosphate, silicate, and ammonia accumulated in the course of the year. The accumulation of phosphate was mainly due to liberation from the sediment. As a result of denitrification the content of inorganic combined nitrogen decreased in the bottom water.Keywords
