| Abstract: | Primary productivity, chlorophyll a and related data from 23 stations in the NE Arabian sea are presented. Productivity in the waters of shelf region averages 474.56 mgC m-2 d-1, and is almost thrice the offshore average of 164.39. Correlation between chlorophyll a and primary production is highly significant. Assimilation number in the shelf region averages 96 and 22 offshore; the variation is attributed to the distribution of nannoplankton. Relationship of light intensity, POC and nutrients with productivity are briefly discussed. |
