Abstract
A large area of the East China Sea (ECS) is a part of a broad shallow epicontinental sea which includes the semi-enclosed Huanghai (Yellow) Sea to the north (Fig. 1). It is connected with the South China Sea at the southwest through the Taiwan Strait and to the Japan Sea at the northeast through the Korea Strait. East and south of the Ryukyu Archipelago is the North Pacific Ocean.
