Phytoplankton production in the North Atlantic peaks in the spring and mostly comes to a halt in the winter. In the North Pacific, plankton production occurs throughout the winter months. This difference in productivity between the North Atlantic and Pacfic is due to: a. thermocline b. salinity of the mixed layer c. different species of plankton d. sunlight availability
