The upwelling of shelf slope water onto the shelf of the Bongo Channel was observed. The shelf slope water contained high concentrations of nutrients. The high chlorophyll a concentration w as also observed at and around the tip of the up welling water. These results indicate that the nutrient rich shelf slope water would accelerate the phytoplankton growth on the shelf of the Bongo Channel. It was assumed that the tip of the upwelling water could not reach to the Hayasui Strait by tidal excursion but was expected to be achieved by the force accompanied by the fluctuation of offshore Kuroshio current.
