Description Sediment samples collected from the shelf and slope regions off the East Coast of India between "Swatch of no ground" in the north and Karaikal in the south, have been analysed for their total phosphorus content and its distribution studied. This study has shown that the shelf sediments in the region between Chilka Lake and "Swatch of no ground" are uniformly rich in their phosphorus content while the sediments in the region between Masulipatam and Pulicat lake are uniformly poor with those in the regions between Visakhapatnam and Masulipatnam and Pulicat Lake and Karaikal coming in between. This distribution pattern of phosphorus has been discussed in relation to the phenomenon of upwelling, biological productivity and the influence of river systems
