 ・ River water plays an important role for supplying significant amount of nutrients and POM on the shelf off Tokachi (water depth<200 m)

 ・ Discharge by snow-melting (in early summer) and heavy rain (in summer and autumn) conveys nutrients to support major production at the coastal area in summer

 ・ Blooming in spring and autumn are supported by nutrients in the pelagic subsurface seawater (Oyashio current)

 ・ Annual load of DIN, PO43-, Si(OH)4 and POC from the To

kachi River to the coastal waters is corresponding to 37, 3.3, 145 and 7.3% of primary production reported in th

e Oyashio Water, respectively.
