Abstract
The physical and chemical characteristics of the environment in Singapore Straits are described. Mention is also made of the currents and drift throughout the year. The general distribution, both qualitative and quantitative, of the phytoplankton and zooplankton is given. At the same time the main genera of phytoplankton which contribute to the phytoplankton calender are highlighted. The interrelationships between phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish in Singapore Straits are briefly discussed.
