Description
Summary:The recurrent green tide of Ulva prolifera caused serious ecological problems in the Yellow Sea and attached substantial scientific study. The bloom originated in the Subei Shoal area and drifted to the coast of Shandong Province during the period from May to July, driven by a series of physical processes. Here we reviewed advances in the understanding of green tides in the Yellow Sea and elucidate the developmental model of this phenomenon. This knowledge will help resource managers to take reasonable measures to mitigate the impacts to the Yellow Sea. [Display omitted] •We review the process of green tides in the Yellow Sea, China.•The green tide originate from the coastal area of Subei Shoal.•The micro propagules are widely existed in the coastal area of the Subei shoal.•We summarize the developmental model of green tides through the investigation.
