The coastline of Qingdao belongs to the Yellow Sea.

The Yellow Sea is a marginal sea surrounded by China and South Korea, and it is a semi-closed sea area with an approximate north-south trend. The northwest is bounded by the connecting line between Laotieshan Angle at the southern end of Liaodong Peninsula and Penglai Angle on the northern shore of Shandong Peninsula, and is connected with Bohai Sea. In the south, it is bounded by the connecting line between Qidongzui on the north bank of the Yangtze River estuary in China and the southwest corner of Jeju Island, and is connected with the East China Sea. The name of the Yellow Sea comes from the fact that its water is yellow.

The Yellow Sea is the narrowest from Jiaodong Peninsula to Changshan Mountains in Korea. It is customary to divide the Yellow Sea into two parts: the North Yellow Sea covers an area of about 8 10000 square kilometers and the South Yellow Sea covers an area of about 409000 square kilometers. The northwest of the Yellow Sea is connected with the Bohai Sea through the Bohai Strait, the east with the Korean Strait through the cheju strait, and the south with the East China Sea through the connecting line from Qidong corner on the northeast coast of the Yangtze River estuary to the southwest corner of Jeju Island.

The main rivers flowing into the Yellow Sea are Huaihe River, Yalu River, Datong River and Han River, and the main coastal cities are Lianyungang, Yancheng, Nantong, Rizhao, Qingdao, Yantai, Weihai, Dalian and Dandong in China, Sinuiju and Nanpu in North Korea and Incheon in South Korea.

The islands in the Yellow Sea are mainly concentrated in the eastern side of Liaodong Peninsula, the eastern side of Jiaodong Peninsula and the western edge of Korean Peninsula. The main administrative regions bordering the Yellow Sea are Liaoning, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces in China, North Pyongan Road, South Pyongan Road, Nanpu Special City, North Yellow Sea Road and South Yellow Sea Road in North Korea, Incheon Metropolitan City, Gyeonggi Province, Chungcheongnam-do, Jeollabuk-do and Jeju Special Autonomous Road in South Korea.

Ecological resources in the Yellow Sea

The Yellow Sea biota belongs to the East Asia subregion of the North Pacific Ocean and belongs to the warm temperate zone, in which temperate species are dominant, but there are also a certain number of warm water species. The main economic fish are small yellow croaker, hairtail, mackerel, Spanish mackerel, yellow croaker, giant salamander, Pacific herring, pomfret and cod. In addition, cetaceans include cephalopods such as squid and cuttlefish, as well as small whales, fin whales and killer whales.

Plankton is mainly temperate species. There is tropical species infiltration in the southeast of the sea area in summer and autumn, which has the dual nature of warm temperate flora of the North Pacific and tropical flora of India-West Pacific. Tropical species are exotic and have obvious seasonal changes. Basically, plankton is mainly in warm temperate zone, mostly with low salinity and wide temperature, and the number of species increases gradually from north to south. The main plankton resources are China shrimp, Pacific krill and jellyfish.

In the shallow waters along the Yellow Sea, the zoobenthos are dominated by wide temperature and low salt, which basically belong to the warm water composition of the Indo-Western Pacific flora. The deep water area where the Yellow Sea cold water mass is located is occupied by the cold water species community in the north temperate zone, represented by the northern real snake tail.

From the whole sea area, the zoobenthos fauna has obvious warm temperate characteristics. Benthic animals are rich in resources, and the main edible species are mollusks and crustaceans. Economic shellfish resources mainly include oysters, mussels, clams, scallops and abalone. Economic shrimp and crab resources include prawn, prawn, new prawn, brown prawn and Portunus trituberculatus. The echinoderms of Stichopus japonicus also produce a lot.
