Seasonal variation in size diversity: Explaining the spatial mismatch between phytoplankton and mesozooplankton in fishing grounds of the East China Sea

The East China Sea (ECS) is the most important fishing ground in China. Field observations have always found no positive correlation between phytoplankton stocks and zooplankton biomass in the ESC. It has been suggested that under eutrophic conditions, the phytoplankton biomass is too high to limit...
