Primary Productivity and Phytoplankton in China Seas

  • Chapter
Oceanology of China Seas

Abstract

Phytoplankton are at the head of the marine food chain, so their species distribution, succession and quantitative variations play an important role in the primary productivity and circulation of chemical nutrients and the augmentation of fishery resources.
