dc.description.abstract	The Sulu Sea is almost an enclosed basin, characterised by a strong seasonally reversing monsoon which induces a complex circulation. Physical features significantly influence phytoplankton biomass which is an engine for the marine food chain that supports fish production. A high proportion of Philippinoes and Malaysians rely on fishing in the Sulu Sea to provide them with animal protein. Nutrients that support the production of marine protein are supplied to the photic zone either through upwelling or by horizontal transport.	en
