説明
chlorophyll-a concentration in the eddy reached 3–4 gl 1 in 3–4 d, which is of the same order as the estimates found in the Kuroshio itself. This indicates that primary production caused by frontal eddies is a phenomenon occuring in both the Kuroshio and the Kuroshio Extension. In addition, the density of copepod nauplii increased with chlorophyll-a concentration in the eddy, and large numbers of eggs and larvae of anchovy were recognized at stations where the copepods were highly concentrated. It is difficult to explain how this physical phenomenon directly affects larval survival in the short period of one week, but this correspondence strongly indicates that frontal disturbances contribute not only to primary production, but also to fish reproduction. 2000 International Council for the Exploration of the Sea
