The residence time of water within the inner fjord basin can be exceptionally long—sometimes decades—due to the restricted sill, leading to unique chemical signatures in the deep water, often including elevated concentrations of di… -

Biological Adaptation and Spectral Tides
The harsh, often low-light environment of the fjord basin has driven specialized biological adaptations. Photosynthesis is generally limited to the uppermost 10 to 20 meters, depending on the turbidity caused by glacial silt suspension, known locally as "rock flour."
Perhaps the most peculiar biological feature is the **[Spectral Tide](/entries/s…
