An interdisciplinary study of the Kuroshio nutrient stream
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. This timely and important contribution to the ocean sciences literature provides a comprehensive analysis of the Kuroshio.
Volume highlights include:
New insights into the role of the Kuroshio as a nutrient stream
The first interdisciplinary examination of the Kuroshio Paradox
Reflections on the influence of the Kuroshio on Japanese culture
Research results on both the lower and higher trophic levels in the Kuroshio ecosystem
Comparisons of nutrient dynamics in the Kuroshio and Gulf Stream
Predictions of ecosystem responses to future climate variability
