The present paper examines the relationship between chlorophyll alpha concentration and transparency in waters adjacent to Japan. The results show that it is possible to estimate seasonal changes in chlorophyll alpha based on variations in transparency in seas adjacent to Japan. Moreover, geographical distribution of chlorophyll alpha can be estimated fin many sea areas based on the degree of transparency. Over all seasons, transparency is a useful and practical indicator of the concentration of chlorophyll alpha in waters adjacent to Japan
