Abstract	Comprehensive carbon chemistry data were measured from the mainstream of Kuroshio, off eastern Taiwan, in May 2014. Results indicated that variations of pH@25 degrees C, POC, Omega(Ca), DIC, pCO(2) and RF were closely related to the characteristics of various water types. Phytoplankton photosynthesis played important roles in DIC variation in Kuroshio Surface Water (KSW), whereas the DIC variation in Kuroshio Subsurface Water (KSSW) was probably influenced by the external transport of DIC-enriched water from the South China Sea. Vertical profiles of hydrological parameters and carbonate species indicated that the Kuroshio Current off eastern Taiwan could intrude into the ECS shelf as far as 27.9 degrees E, 125.5 degrees N in spring. What is more, the KSW, KSSW and Kuroshio Intermediate Water (KIW) could convey DIC into the East China Sea (ECS) with flux of 285, 305 and 112 Tg C/half year (1 Tg = 10(12) g), respectively. The relevant flux of POC was 0.16, 2.93 and 0.04 Tg C/half year, respectively. Consequently, the intrusion of Kuroshio could probably exert a counteracting influence on the potential of CO2 uptake in the ECS, which needs further study.
