. Biology of the seas of the Marine biology -- Soviet Union; Hydrology -- Soviet Union. THE WHITE SEA 181 Kandalaksha (Rugozerskaya Guba); since 1945 the Biological Station of the Petrozavodsk University has been working at Gridin, and since 1957 the Biological Station of the Karelian Associate Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the at Chupa Guba. III. PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY, HYDROLOGY, HYDRO- CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY Situation and size The White Sea (Fig. 76) is an accessory body of water of the Barents Sea, to which it is connected by a broad sound, projecting far into the mainland. It is bounded by the coordinates 63° 48' to 68° 40' of north latitude and 32° 00' to 44° 40' of east longitude. The northern limit of the Sea is taken as being a line joining Sviatoi Nos and Cape Curren'i Fig. 76. Chart of White Sea with depths and currents. The White Sea is subdivided into: (7) the funnel-shaped broad (100 to 170 km) shallow (20 to 40 to 80 m) outer part of the sound (to the northward of a line from Danilov Island to Voronov Island); (2) the Gorlo, the narrow (45 to 60 km), deeper (40 to 100 m) inner part of the sound, running south- ward as far as a line joining Cape Nicodiemsky and Cape Veprevsky; and (3) the White Sea proper (the basin), consisting of a central part, open sea, and three inlets, the Kandalaksha, Dvina and Onega Gulfs. The area of the whole sea is approximately 90,000 km2, with a mean depth of 89 m. On a line from the Gulf of Kandalaksha to the Dvina Gulf the Sea extends for 480 km. The considerable freshness of the water of the White Sea is deter- mined by its positive fresh-water balance (V. Timonov, 1950). The annual in- flux from the land composes 185 km3, with 19 km3 of sediment; evaporation.
