  ABSTRACT: The East China Sea (ECS) is one of the largest marginal seas in the Northwest Pacific, and also one of the most productive regions of the global ocean. Using a three-dimensional Pacific physical-biological model, we investigate the interannual variation of phosphate transport via Kuroshio intrusion (KIPT) in the eastern boundary of the East China Sea (ECS) and its influence on the ECS biological process during 1997 to 2016. The KIPT into the ECS mainly occurs in the northeast of Taiwan and southwest of Kyushu, with stronger interannual variability in the northeast of Taiwan. The variation of the KIPT is more significant in the near-bottom water, and is dominated by volume transport. On the interannual timescale, the KIPT changes in response to the shift of the Kuroshio axis and to the bottom upwelling in the ECS eastern boundary. When the Kuroshio axis is closer to (farther away from) the ECS shelf, the strength of the bottom upwelling increases (decreases). This process induces more (less) significant topographic beta spiral, which causes an anticyclonic (cyclonic) eddy-like bottom velocity feature in the northeast of Taiwan. Eventually, more phosphate is transported to the ECS inner shelf, which increases chlorophyll concentration around the Zhoushan Islands and Yangtze Estuary but reduces chlorophyll concentration in the ECS outer shelf. Conversely, the chlorophyll increases in the ECS outer shelf but decreases around the Zhoushan Islands and Yangtze Estuary when there is less phosphate transport. This study highlights the importance of Kuroshio intrusion in connecting the inner and outer shelves of the ECS on the interannual timescale. Phosphate transport into the East China Sea via Kuroshio intrusion shows great interannual variability in the northeast of Taiwan. On the interannual timescale, the variation of phosphate transport into the East China Sea via Kuroshio intrusion is dominated by volume transport. When the Kuroshio axis is closer to the East China Sea shelf, there is more phosphate transport into the East China Sea, and chlorophyll increases around the Zhoushan Islands and Yangtze Estuary.
