Three cruises were conducted in February, April and August during 2018 to collect temperature, salinity, nutrients, chlorophyll-a, zooplankton and fish larvae in the surrounding waters off Taiwan. A total of 166 stations were investigated. The autumn cruise will be conducted as long as the weather permitted. In the future, station 4 will be adjusted westward from 122°30' N to 122°29' N. In winter, the distribution of cold China Coastal Current retreated to the north of the Taiwan Strait. Sea surface temperature (SST), salinity, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, and chlorophyll-a and zooplankton abundance in winter were 16.17~25.97 ℃, 32.19~34.70 psu, 0.4~5.9 μM, 0.017~0.272 μM, 0.3~3.8 μM, 0.022~1.657 mg/m3 and 16.35~299.7 ind./m3 , respectively. In spring, the flow pattern in the surrounding waters of Taiwan was mainly influenced by Kuroshio Current and Southern China Sea Surface Water. SST, salinity, nitrate, phosphate, silicate, and chlorophyll-a and zooplankton abundance in spring were 20.71~29.56 ℃, 33.72~34.78psu, 0.1~2.5μM, 0~0.502μM, 0.6~12.3μM, 0.01~1.14mg/m3 and 6.74~201.3 ind./m3 , respectively. In summer, SST and SSS were 25.06~30.78 ℃ and 31.35~34.35psu, respectively. This study demonstrated the interannual variations of larval fish assemblages associated with ocean fronts in the Taiwan Strait (TS), based on seven consecutive cruises in winter from 2007 to 2013, which provides crucial information about the status of the larval fish community and presents a better understanding of the long-term dynamics and the influence of environmental fluctuations in the TS during winter. Besides, we published the “Cruise Report of TaiCOFI Surveys” in 2016 and 2017 to provide our investigation results to the public. Standard procedures of field program and sample analysis are described in detail and the distribution of water temperature, salinity, nutrients, chlorophyll- a , zooplankton and primary production are illustrated in figures for each cruise. The historical investigation data were uploaded to the domestic data-sharing panel, such as CDX, OpenData, TGOS, COA statistics system and TFRI website. In this way, the data of this project can be used for scholarly research available to other investigators.
