Kuroshio current : physical, biogeochemical and ecosystem dynamics /
The surface water of the Kuroshio, a western boundary current in the northern 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, Bioge...
