• Baltic Sea is semi-closed, shallow, brackish water body having smooth salinity gradient and unique fauna and flora.
• It is a young sea and in glacial time it was a cold lake. Baltic Sea until now retains many features of lake.
• Biodiversity of Baltic Sea is relatively low while in its own way is unique and needs special measures for its preservation.

Riverine waters are giving considerable contribution practically to all water areas of the Baltic Sea.

• In the Baltic Sea there are oligohaline and mesohaline water areas, and each of them has its own specific flora and fauna.
• The most freshened areas there are Gulf of Finland and Gulf of Bothnia.
• Central water area of Baltic Sea has pronounced mesohaline character.
• Only in Kattegat and Sound can polyhaline conditions be found.

Large contribution for studying salinity influence on biodiversity have been made 2 scientists:
Prof. Otto Kinne and his theory on horohalinicum
Prof. Vladislav Khlebovich and his theory of critical salinity
![Page 31: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Biodiversity of the Baltic Sea has been studied intensively since the middle of 19th century. Studies of Swedish zoologist Loven (1864) could be considered pioneering. It is important to also mention works of Möbius (1873) and Heinke (Möbius, Heinke, 1883), and also Brandt (1897) and Nordquist (1890).
• Since the beginning of 20th century, the number of works on the Baltic Sea biodiversity has increased. There were publications by Ekman (1913), Petersen (1913, 1914) and Thulin (1922). Later there were studies by Demel with co-authors (Demel et al., 1927-1954), by Remane (1933-1955), by Segersträle (1932-1958) and by Välikangas (1926-1933), by Kinne (1949-1970) and others.
![Page 32: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Russian and soviet scientists also contributed to the studies of Baltic Sea biodiversity.
A few of them, with years of their major scientific publications, include:
•Derjugin(1923-1924, 1934-1935)
•Nikolaev(1949-1985)
•Shurin(1957)
•Zenkevich(1963)
•Khlebovich(1974)
•Järvekülg(1960-1999)
•and many others
![Page 33: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Above-mentioned scientists from Baltic Sea states have demonstrated that biodiversity of this young sea was formed in the postglacial time and is highly heterogeneous by its composition.
It consists of three main components:
1) marine
2) freshwater
3) brackishwater (sensu stricta).
![Page 34: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The first group is the main part of Baltic Sea biota. It includes relicts if previous geological times and immigrants from remote marine water bodies.
The second group includes large number of Baltic Sea inhabitants, which come together with freshwater inflow.
The third group is represented by large number of species and is divided into 2 subgroups:
1) Ancient brackishwater arctic relicts (pseudorelicts-immigrants) formed in the glacial time in freshened areas of arctic basin that migrated into the Baltic Sea in postglacial time from the North-East and East possibly via fresh waters.
2) Brackishwater forms originated from freshwater ones.

This old invader already spread over nearly all the Baltic Sea including

In the nearest future one more Cladocera could appear in the Baltic Sea:
Podonevadne camptonyx.
It has the same type of osmoregulation as
Evadne anonyx.
![Page 79: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
• When you are looking for possible invaders to the Baltic Sea one needs to know their osmoregulation capacities.
• Availability of resting stage is increasing the risk of invasion.
• Representatives of populations from the Sea of Azov have the most similar living conditions to those of the Baltic Sea and risk of their invasion is the highest.

Unfortunately Baltic Sea is about to be a dying sea. We are very lucky that our sea is not a dead sea yet. In order to improve the situation we need to have some urgent measures. Some of them are already proposed by scientists and decision makers from Baltic Sea littoral states. As an example, I could refer to the suggested measures to oxygenize the deeper salt water of the Baltic Sea made by Peter Kjaerboe and his team.
![Page 84: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Circulation, mechanisms
• Wind enough if density homogeneous
• If density differs due to difference in temperature or salinity a cline (språngskikt) occurs
• Oxygenized water then enters by gravity

Run-off to The Baltic Sea
• Spring, summer and autumn run-off from precipitation
• Winter, low run-off due to snow stored on the ground

Water through the Danish sounds beginning of 1900 and today
• Monthly flow through sound from four references (4) and (1)
• Difference in flow 1900 and now due to water stores i.e. dams
• Inflow of salt water is influenced, (7) and (2) and so the renewal of that water

Saltlås, saltlock in the Danish sound St Bält
• Due to flow of cyclones over Scandinavia an oscillating flow occurs in the sounds (5), (6).
• Is it possible to increase resistance when salt water flows out?
• If so, an increased net inflow and renewal will occur (3)
• For references see http://o2gruppen.se

Saltlock
• Saltlock overview
• Saltlock closed
• Saltlock open
![Page 90: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
Mechanism
• Cyclones with low air- pressure passing Denmark brings water
• Saltlock open when inflow, closed when outflow
![Page 91: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
Conclusions• As is obvious from the data presented here, the
Baltic Sea is very rich in hydrobionts with various types of osmoregulation. In fact there are not only stenohaline marine hydrobionts of freshwater origin (osmoconformers-I,II) but also euryhaline Australian hydrobionts of freshwater origin (amphiosmotics-II).
• As a result, in the Baltic Sea it is possible to find practically all barrier salinities. Barrier salinities of lower salinity range are expressed in the estuaries of Baltic rivers, and those of the higher one are expressed in Kattegat and the Sound.
• Urgent measures are needed to improve the environmental condition in the Baltic Sea. The deep-water zone project proposed by Peter Kjaerboe and his team is considered to be of great importance.
![Page 92: CONCEPTION OF THE BALTIC SEA BIODIVERSITY: VIEW FROM OSMOREGULATION AND BRACKISH WATER HYDROBIOLOGY PRINCIPLES Aladin N.V. 1, Keyser D.2, Plotnikov I.S](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081519/56649dbf5503460f94ab3f78/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Two final statements• The present investigation was made in order to
influence the international team of top decision-makers from Baltic Sea littoral countries. They must include in Baltic Sea Action Plan real practical measures that could save and maintain the unique brackishwater environment together with its fauna, flora and unique brackishwater ecosystems within this unique European water body.
• The only water body with the same unique brackishwater environment was in the Central Asia. It was Aral Sea. Unfortunately we lost it. We must not loose Baltic Sea, too.
