Abstract

Abstract

Based on size spectrum theory,field data measured by laser particle size analyzer were used to analyze Sheldon size spectra and normalized size spectra of suspended particle in the southern Taiwan Strait during summer,2004. The results showed that the patterns of Sheldon size spectra were similar at all stations in transects A and B. In normalized size spectra,the range of slopes was -0.79 to -0.65. Influenced by coastal upwelling of Taiwan Strait and upwelling around the Taiwan Shoal,the slopes were high around the high chlorophyll area or the chlorophyll maximum layer. This indicated that the process of up-welling was in favor of developing locally of biological food chain with high trophict ransfer efficiency. The in situlaser particle size analyzer could beregar ded as a basic sensor to detect finestructure for trophic transfer efficiency.
