The investigation shows that the concentrations of nutrients are high in estuarine and coastal waters and low in offshore waters. The concentration of nitrate in estuaries is controlled through a physical mixing process and is also affected by hiotic activity. The annual transport of total inorganic nitrogen and dissolved phosphate-phosphorus from the Huanghe River water to the sea is about 8.45×104 and 1.45×103 tons respectively. The distributions of inorganic nitrogen and silicate in interstitial water of surface sediments are similar to those in surface and bottom sea water. Their contents in interstitial water are227 552μmol/l (average 375) for ammonia, 0.31 -9.0μmol/l (average 1.6) for nitrite, 0 41μmol/1 (average 6.0) for nitrate, and 41 139μmol/l (average 77) for silicate. The average concentrations of phosphate in the surveyed area are 0.64μmol/l for seawater and 1.2μmol/l for interstitial water. A cycle of phosphate in the estuary is also suggested in this paper.
