Description The thermocline in the sea, which separates the warm mixed layer at the top
and the cold stratified layers below, is important from many aspects. The greater
the depth of the thermocline the more will be the water column of the mixed layer
enriched with dissolved oxygen which will be available for sea life. The vertical
distribution of nutrient salts depends upon the situation of the thermocline (Graham,
1954). The depth of the pelagic shoals depends largely on the vertical extension
of the mixed surface layer (Mela and Laevastu, 1962). The vertical extent of
the mixed surface layer is also important from the view point of the vertical distributions
of the buoyantly floating eggs and larvae of the pelagic fish which are
affected by the vertical turbulence occurring in the layer (King and Hide, 1957;
Silliman 1950).
