Boron in seawater of Wadge bank region in the Indian Ocean
Abstract
In the upper 200 m in the Wadge Bank region B varies from 3.09 to 4.95 mg.kg/1. B/Cl ratio ranges from 0.159 to 0.256. Depthwise distribution of B shows its inverse relationship with dissolved oxygen, direct relationship with inorganic phosphate and no clear relationship with particulate matter. The data suggest that a part of the variation in B/Cl ratio is associated with oxidative degradation of organic matter in the subsurface layers
