The temperature at 30 m depth in the Sound shows a slightly increasing trend during the period 1997–2022 (Kendall’s tau = 0.072, p = 0.015, n = 554).

An increasing trend was recorded for the gastropod Tritia nitida in the Sound.
The fact that the majority of the declining species in the Sound have a benthic larval stage and most of the increasing species have a pelagic larval stage is highly significant.
