sustainable and multifunctional use of marine areas in heavily used oceans on the example of the North Sea Objectives: The project aims to create a multi-use road map as a tool for the future use of marine [...] multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA)-system. Model organisms are fish (turbot Scophthalmus maximus , sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax ) as fed aquaculture candidates, bivalves (mussels Mytilus edulis , oysters

The Arctic Ocean was covered by a shelf ice and filled with freshwater

marine deposits, the scientists could demonstrate that the Arctic Ocean as well as the Nordic Seas did not contain sea-salt in at least two glacial periods. Instead, these oceans were filled with large amounts [...] amounts of freshwater under a thick ice sheet. This water could then be released into the North Atlantic in very short periods of time. Such sudden freshwater inputs could explain rapid climate oscillations
