Chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) represents one of the primary light-absorbing species in natural waters and plays a critical in determining the aquatic light field. CDOM shows a featureless absorption spectrum that increases exponentially with decreasing wavelength, which limits the penetration of biologically damaging UV-B radiation (wavelength from 280 to 320 nm) in the water column, thus shielding aquatic organisms. CDOM absorption measurements and their relationship with dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and fluorescence are presented in typical macrophyte and algae lake zone of Lake Taihu based on a field investigation in April in 2004 and lab analysis. Absorption spectral of CDOM was measured from 240 to 800 nm using a Shimadzu UV-2401PC UV-Vis recording spectrophotometer. Fluorescence with an excitation wavelength of 355 nm, an emission wavelength of 450 nm is measured using a Shimadzu 5301 spectrofluorometer. Concentrations of DOC ranged from 6.3 to 17.2 mg/L with an average of 9.08±2.66 mg/L. CDOM absorption coefficients at 280 nm and 355 nm were in the range of 11.2～32.6 m -1 (average 17.46m -1±5.75 m -1) and 2.4～8.3 m -1 (average 4.17m -1±1.47 m -1), respectively. The values of the DOC-specific absorption coefficient at 355 nm ranged from 0.31 to 0.64 L·(mg·m) -1. Fluorescence emission at 450 nm, excited at 355 nm, had a mean value of 1.32nm -1±0.84 nm -1. A significant lake zone difference is found in DOC concentration, CDOM absorption coefficient and fluorescence, but not in DOC-specific absorption coefficient and spectral slope coefficient. This regional distribution pattern is in agreement with the location of sources of yellow substance: highest concentrations close to river mouth under the influence of river inflow, lower values in East Lake Taihu. The values of algae lake zone are obvious larger than those of macrophyte lake zone. In Meiliang Bay, CDOM absorption, DOC concentration and fluorescence tend to decreasing from inside to mouth of the Bay. The results show a good correlation between CDOM absorption and DOC coefficients during 280～500 nm short wavelength intervals. The R-square coefficient between CDOM absorption and DOC concentration decreases with the increase of wavelength from 280 to 500 nm. The significant linear regression correlations between fluorescence, DOC concentration and absorption coefficients were found at 355 nm. The exponential slope coefficients ranged from 13.0 to 16.4 μm -1 with a mean value 14.37μm -1±0.73μm -1, 17.3μm -1～20.3μm -1 with a mean value 19.17μm -1±0.84μm -1 and 12.0μm -1～15.8μm -1 with a mean value 13.38μm -1±0.82μm -1 over the 280～500 nm, 280～360 nm and 360～440 nm intervals.
