Phosphorus (P) plays key role in phytoplankton primary production in coastal water. In this study, seawater samples collected within China's Leizhou Peninsula coastal waters from October 2017 to July 2018 were examined to determine the seasonal variation, speciation, and transport flux of total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) linked to hydrographic features. TDP concentration and speciation had significant seasonal variations (P < 0.01), and the annual mean TDP concentration was 0.42 ± 0.25 μmol·L⁻¹. High concentrations of TDP occurred in coastal waters adjacent to Zhanjiang Bay and Jianjiang River estuary, whereas low TDP concentrations were found across large offshore areas. Dissolved inorganic and organic P were the main TDP bulk species in different seasons, comprising up to 55.5 ± 7.9% and 46.5 ± 22.6%, respectively. The Beibu Gulf was annually subjected to 3.5 × 10⁹ mol flux of TDP through the Qiongzhou Strait. Coastal currents, river plumes, and human activities were responsible for the dynamic variations in P species.
