| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Enormous sea water including fresh water originated from Chang Jiang River in the East China Sea are transported to the Japan Sea by the Tsushima Warm Current. Ratio between nitrogen and phosphate (N/P ratio) in sea water varies during transport process. We have investigated how the N/P ration variability influence material cycle in the East China and Japan Seas by hydrographic observation and numerical experiment. We found from hydrographic observation that dominant phytoplankton and zooplankton correspond to characteristics of water mass, and phytoplankton and zooplankton consist of 2 group and 3 group, respectively. We have developed a lower trophic ecosystem model and carried out experiments by different condition of N/P ratio. From the numerical experiments, it was found that only large phytoplankton increased when N/P ratio became high.
