Many silled fjords have a natural potential for developing dysoxic and even anoxic bottom water conditions. This often occurs in microtidal silled fjords with an estuarine circulation pattern, where surface or transitional lowdensity water extends down to sill depth and thereby inhibits frequent renewals of the denser deep basin water. The oxygen regimes in such fjords are very sensitive to increased fluxes of organic carbon whether due to natural or anthropogenic causes.
