Using the Nutrients data from World Ocean Atlas 2009 issued by NOAA in 2010 to analyze the monthly change of nutrient content, nutrient proportion and nutrient limitation in Kuroshio East China Sea, the results show that: (1)The ratios of N/P, Si/N, Si/P in shallow waters of 250m with a significant spatial differences. The spatial differences of Si/N and N/P are most obvious in March to April and August to September, the smaller differences occurs in October to December. The spatial distribution of Si/P is different from N/P and Si/N, Strong regional differences appears in September, the relatively uniform spatial distribution appears in May to June. (2)The major nutrient concentrations limit in Kuroshio of East China Sea are N and P, which impact in shallow of 300m. The nutrient concentrations are higher than threshold concentration in 300m to deeper area, so it could not appear the phenomenon of nutrient limitation. Phytoplankton growth mainly occurs in the range of 100-200m in April to November.
