Katmaks

Katmaks is a term used to describe a type of underwater habitat created by the accumulation of organic matter, primarily dead fish, in the Baltic Sea. These habitats are formed in areas with strong currents and are characterized by their unique ecosystem. Katmaks are often found in the deeper parts of the sea, where the water is colder and less oxygenated. The organic matter that accumulates in katmaks provides a rich food source for various marine organisms, including crustaceans, fish, and other invertebrates. These habitats play a crucial role in the overall health and biodiversity of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Katmaks are also of interest to scientists and researchers due to their unique characteristics and the potential insights they can provide into marine biology and ecology.
