                       CIRCUIT OF SUBSTANCESIN THE OCEAN

      Seaweeds devour nutritious salts utterly fast. And if their reserves were not replaced,
then all the world ocean would turn into a vast desert devoid of any live. Yet the sea wa-
ter gets renewed1 all the time, and so the life in the seas and oceans never expires.
      As it was said above the nutritious salts are carried to sea mainly by rivers. Rains,
streams and impetuous spring torrents wash down the rivers. Rivers fall into seas and
the currents carry the biogenetic substances, the so-called ''living salt'' all over the
ocean. However the ocean water is saturated with ''living salt'' irregularly. The ''living
salt'' accumulates, for the most part, in inshore water and in estuaries. And we must not
forget that the ocean itself produces nutritious salts: carcasses of living organisms
in the oceans are the source of nutritious salts. Bacteria decompose the bodies of dead
animals and plants and return to water the biogenetic substances which again enter the
ever lasting circuit of life.
