Obviously more to it than that!! Lets know what you come up with.
I'll have to get a copy of the Handbook. Could be living dangerously without it |
Nothing wrong with your reasoning. But like everything else, there are not much in the way of constants anywhere. I found it surprising also when I read it, but since I'm terrible with European geography I had to do research:
North Sea by and by has a lower then average salinity then your normal body of salt water. The Baltic is even lower and is a feeder to the North Sea. There is a pronounced thermal layer for most of the year, found anywhere from 20-50m deep. So a shallow body of water can still support a thermal layer. The weather and circulation also help this make a pretty good hunting ground in the early years of the big one. Happy Hunting Herr Kaleun!
