The vertical distr~bution of urea has been determined during
a five - yem: period (from Ju."le 1916 to lIay 1981) at 21 diffe-rent stations in the Ba1tic Sea on samples collected during
20 cruises. Results show pronounced seasonal variations with
the highest concentrations (up to 1.86 ~1) toward the end ofsp!ing, while thc lowcst (down to 0.10 p}I) were found during
winter ~~nths. A total ~!er3eC of 0.32 p}I was calculated. Ex-cept for same stations in the western Baltic Sea (Arkona ba-
sin, Hano bight and TIornholm deop) tho concentrations werenotably hiehcr above tho halocline than below it. Areas around
the Gulf of Finland and the Hauo bight show elevated averageCOllcentrations (0.48 end 0.36 jlU respectively) while the 10-west averae;e ware faund in ,thc contral purt of the Baltic i.e.
north of the Gotland deep (0.21 /~1).

INTRODUCTION
Urea (carbamid or carbonyldiamide), H2N- CO - NH2 ,is excreted into thc environment as an end product of nitrogen
metaholism by many higher organisms and as a product or micro-
binl action on amino acids, purines and pyrimidines.
A oonsiderable amount of urea found in some coas-
tal marine environments may be added by freshwater disoharges,
especially through Se\iage from densoly populated areas, since
man and other torrestrial vertebrates represcnt a primary souroe
of urea. In addition, drainage from aGricultural regions also
might contribute hea·.;ily if urea - based fertilizara are used
(Remsen et al. 1974).
Urea - docomposing bacteria have been shown to be
present in both fresh/rater und marine environments (Steinmann,
1976). 11arine phytoplankters have also been shown to utilizeurea as a source of nitrocen. Host cf these are inhabltants .of
estuaries or inshore areas (Carpenter, 1972), which auggestthaturea should be considered as an important part of the ni-
trogen reserve in coastal waters, especially where nitroQen is
the limitating factor, and during periods when nitrate levels
in the euphotic layer are minimal (Vac~aro, 196,).
During the two last decades, the distribution of
urea in eoastal and other oceanic watcrs has been studied. Ne-
well (1967) found concontrations as hiGh as 1.54 JÜ1 in surface'iaters of the ./'~'nGlish Channel; He Carthy (1972) reported 0.21

to 0.50 p}1 in waters off La Jo11a, California, and va1ues upto 0.,4 plI in surface waters along the Peruvian coast; Remsen(1971) found va1ucs from 0.27 to 2.50 p}I in surfacc watersoff the continenta1 she1fbetween Panam~ und Ca11ao, Peru, and
from 0.12 ru'I on the 1830 m depth 1ine between Cape Cod andCape May along the continental ahelf of the northeast Uni ted
States to high of 5.60 pli vithinNew York Harbor; Koroleft(1974) in a preliminary.study in Baltic waters reported va1uesfrom. 0.05 to 1.00 pl1, and more recently, S,teinmann (1976) re-ported levels for th: Kiel bight trom 0.01 to 4.52 pll. To date,there have been rather few measurenments of urea·in the Baltio
Sea•
The present report attcmpts to outline theresults
of a five - year study of urea levels at different stations in
thc Baltic Sea. For convenience, the area under investigation
has been divided into section A, from Arkona basin (BY 2) throughKarlsö deep (BY 38) to Landsort deep (BY 31), und section B,from Bornholm deep (BY 5) through Gotlund deep (BY 15) to theGulf of Finland (BY 23), as deocribed in figure 1. Some stationswere visited only few times. Por that reason they have been
grouped in order to get more representative values (BY 29/28,BY 27/26 and BY 25/24/23).
About 4000 oamples, from 21 stations, obt~inedduring thc coarse of 20 cruiscs carried out during differentseasons from Junc 1976 to l1ay 1981, were analyzed.

Urea was determined by the spectrophotometric ce-
thod originally proposed by Newell ct ale (1967) and modifiedmainly by Koroleff (1976). It is based on the reaction withdiacetylmonoxime und semicarbazide in the presence of controlled
amounts of a weak oxidant in a stronsly acidio medium where
ohloride ions are included in excess to sensitize the reaotion.
Hanganous ions stabilize the resultant ma0enta coloured molecu-
lar complex and the presenoe of phosphate ions enables reasonable
reproduoibility to be achicved. Reaction takcs place under heatingat 10 oe. It is positive for compounds having the general formula

ve for urea. Haximun abßorbanoe oeourtJ at 520 nn. i/hen a 5 omcell is used, oonoentrations from 0.10 to 10.0 rI1 of urea can
be measured. At the 2 p}1 level the relative standard deviationis :!: 2.6 %, \.,rhereas at the 0.2 rN level i t has been estimatedto be ±15%. ~ven if at tho Baltio Interealibration Workshopin Kiel (Maroh 1977), no statistioal treatment of the data weredone, the deviations from the true values were within the error
of the method (Grasshoff, 1977).
The common ions prosent in tho natural waters do
not interfere, nor are there interferences by ammonia, leuei-
ne, tyrosine, eystine, arginine, lysine, histidine, taurine or
urio acid. Thiourea and biurea react to some extent as do al-
lantoine and citrulline. Tbat mißht cause some problems in
water samples having a high ani~al produotion (RemGen, 1971),but all these compounds normally are not present in natural
waters in large enoush amounts to interfore with the method
(Koroleff, 1976). No interference from hydrogen sulphide inanoxio waters has been detected (Valderrama, 1979).
Thc sacples wero oollected directly from the
Hydro - Bios T?N' polycarbonate wo.tel' tJamplers together \'Ii th
samples for analysis of other nutrients, trom thc standard
depths generally used in the Baltic. Aliquots of 100 ml were
poured into glass bottlas und 0.5 ml of a saturated HgC12solution was used as preservative.The samples were analyzed
4 to 6 weeks after colleotion in 25 01 replicates. Preserva-
tion tests showed that ures saraples remain unal terable tor
at least two months aftor sampling using this procedure (Val-
derrama, 1979).
';li th eaoh series of samples replicates of blank.
and standard solutions at different concentrations (0.2, 0.5,1.0, and 2.0 fll) ware analyzed in order to calculate the
conoentration factor of reaeents, whioh for a 5 om cell should
be elose to 9.

RESULTS
Table I gives maan valuas of the vertical profile
concent~ation of urea determined during each of the 20 cruises
showing results for sections A and B, as for the total studied
area (T). At the left of each colucn values in the w~ter masses
above (upper fiGUre) and bclow (lower figure) the 'nalocline,
and at the right the total mean values for the all area are
shown. Values are plo~ted in figures 2 and 3. Except for thecruise on June 1916 all measurenmants show higher levels ofconcentration above than below the halocline.
From the Table I and figares 2 and 3 a pronoun-ced seasonal variation of the concentration can be observed.
The highest values were determined during Hay and June und
they may reach up to 0.49 pM (on an average) but some isolatedvalues may reach up to 1.86 pli. Thc lowest levels were determi-ned in January and on an average they may reachdown'to 0.11~I with some isolated values'down to 0.10 pM.
\lhen a eraph with the values obtained during all
the different cruises"is plotted for a "representative" year
the figure 4 i8 obtained. During sprinc and early summer urealevels reach a maximun which decreases laterduring autumn and
winter with two smaller ma.-x:imums during late summer und autumn -
early winter (respectivaly Septembor and November - December).
Tables Ir and IrI and fi~~es 5 and 6 give a pic-ture of the seasonal variation and distribution of the concen-
tration above and below the halooline for the different stations
included in the two sections. ,The Hanö bight (station HE in the
seotlon A) und the Gulfof Finland (Stations BY 25/24/23, in the
section B) were the areas having the highest levels of oonoen-
tration,whioh 1s especially outstanding during spring months,
respeotively 0.55 and 0.60 ~1. In the Gulf of Finland these
hieh'levels were observed even during all other periode. Sta-tions as liorköping deep (BY 32),Fär~ deep (BY 20) and Ryss-
hälan (BY 8) presented the lowest avcra&c concentrations evenduring spring.

Figure 7 show the average concentrations foundduring the entire investigated period for each station indica-
ting values above and bclow the halocline. The concentration
average of all saoples (seotion A 0.32 ~1 and section B 0.31"pM) even as for thc levels above and below thc halocline(seotion A respeotively 0.54 and 0.29 p11 and section B respeo-
. tively 0.35 and 0.27 plI). A total average of 0.32 pl1 for theentire investigated area was caloulated, 0.35 and 0.28 ~1 forreopeotively above and below tho halocline.
Figure 8 sbows tbo intocratcd valucs of concen-
tration levels ror the two sections during the tour seasonal
periods, they are nearly similar for both soctions.
Except for stations DY 2 (during spring, summer
and autumn) , HB (during spring and Sumr::ler) , BY 39 (durinaspring), and BY 5 (during spring) all other stations exhibitthc highcst conoentrations abovo thc haloclinc (Tablcs II and
I1I, and tigures 6 and 7). Thc ncntioned stations are looatedin the south - western part, that io near the only communica-
tions (through the Belts and Örcsund) that tbe Baltic Sea has
with thc rest of tbc world ooean, and whcre the halocline is.
more pronounced, and where heavy aalt water from thc Kattegattflows eastcrly as a botton current below thc outtlowing brackish
surfaoe water.
Thc diffcrences in concentration levels of urea
between the two water layers separatcd by thc halocline are
higher toward thc eastern areas of thc Baltic, espcoially du-
ring spring and summer. These differcncea may reacbup to 77%in the station BY 27/26 during spring and 78% in tbe station
BY 29/28 during summer (Table III and figure 6).
Figurea 9 and 10 show the concentration isople-tes in a vertical profile for respeotively section A and sec-
tion B during a typical spring period. The halocline level ioindioated with a segmented line.
Tbc results obtained during the investigatedperiod suggest that tbc high urea levels measured above tbe
-
halocline and especially during spring and, to some extent,
during autumn months, are connected with the primary produc-
tion, and in areas such as thc Gulf of Finlnnd and the Hanö
bight even "li th freshwater discharces from the surrounding
densely populated areas. It is more difficult to explain why
th1s pattern is inverted in thc oouth - western part of the
Baltic~ As a proliminary expl~~ation it may be assumed that
it 1s connected with inputn arisine trom Öresund which repre-
sents another high populated area.
In the Baltic, nutrients such as nitrate. nitri-
te and ammonium build up durine the winter months and in the
euphotie zone they are eonsumed during a few weeks in spring.
An intensive primary produetion thon oeeurs and thc system
beeomes nitrOGen limited during thc end of spring and summer
(Rönner, 1983). Therefore, urea muy be eonsidered an impor-
tant nitrogen reserve souree in the Baltie Seu.
