Based on the investigation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the Yellow Sea from August to September 2017, the spatial distributions of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were studied in the Yellow Sea. In surface seawater, CDOM was higher in the nearshore water, which might be caused by the relatively significant influence by the river input, while colorless DOC concentration in the north Yellow Sea Cold Water (YSCW) area was enhanced by aquaculture. The DOC concentration decreased along depth in the water column, but an inverse trend for CDOM, especially in the YSCW area. Terrestrial DOC input and primary production were mainly responsible for the surface DOC enhancement, while photobleaching induced the decrease of CDOM. Additionally, photobleaching also decreased the molecular weight and aromaticity of CDOM in surface water. In the YSCW, O2 was slightly unsaturated, with the saturation degree of 80%–93%. In this area, strong stratification prevented the vertical diffusion of O2 to bottom water. Additionally, stratification could also restrain the vertical mixing of DOC and CDOM, which was mainly responsible for the large difference of DOC and CDOM between surface and bottom waters.
