Description Reversal of surface circulation during the monsoons, patchy nutrient distributions and high light intensity drive phytoplankton production processes in the tropical Arabian Sea. Available data are discussed in the light of these driving phenomena with particular reference to nutrient limitation and the effect of high light intensity on extracellular production by phytoplankton and the fate of such products in the sea. An attempt is made to relate production rates with zooplankton biomass and fishery potentials in this region
