Abstract: ► ¹²⁹I content was measured in seaweed collected in 1982 and 1986 in the Baltic Sea. ► ¹²⁹I content and ¹²⁹I/¹²⁷I ratios were found to be highest in the Kattegat area. ► A linear relation between ¹²⁷I content and salinity in seawater was established. ► Contribution of the Chernobyl accident to ¹²⁹I in the region was not significant.
