The geochemical processes operating on metals in anoxic marine waters influence metal mobility and mode of transport to the sediments in a manner different from that observed in oxic regimes. In order to better understand these processes, dissolved and particulate Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Cd concentrations were determined in the water column of a permanently anoxic basin, Framvaren Fjord, Norway. Class specific behavior determines the degree to which these metals are involved in the processes of redox cycling at the O 2 / H 2 S interface and metal sulfide precipitation in the sulfidic water. Metal sulfide precipitation influences the magnitude of metal enrichment in the sediments. The transition metals, Mn, Fe, and Co, show active involvement in redox cycling, characterized by dissolved maxima just below the O 2 / H 2 S interface. Nickel concentrations appear unaffected by processes influencing the profiles of the other metals. The metals, Cu, Zn, and Cd, display a dramatic solubility decrease across the interface, are not involved in redox cycling, and are enriched in the sediments relative to a lithogenic component by factors of 11, 105, and 420, respectively. Ion activity products of the metals and sulfide provide evidence that chemical equilibria with a pure metal sulfide solid phase is not the dominant process controlling dissolved metal concentrations in the sulfide containing waters.
