Kuroshio current: physical, biogeochemical and ecosystem dynamics /
"The surface water of the Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the North Pacific Ocean, is nutrient-depleted and has relatively low primary productivity, yet abundant fish populations are supported in the region. This is called the 'Kuroshio Paradox'. Kuroshio Current: Physical, Bi...

Summary: |
"The surface water of the Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the North Pacific Ocean, is nutrient-depleted and has relatively low primary productivity, yet abundant fish populations are supported in the region. This is called the 'Kuroshio Paradox'. Kuroshio Current: Physical, Biogeochemical and Ecosystem Dynamics presents research from a multidisciplinary team that conducted observational and modeling studies to investigate this contradiction" -- Provided by publisher. |
