Abstract

Using the materials from oceanographic observations for 1932–2014, the value of the “new” primary production of the Sea of Okhotsk was assessed based on the loss of the silicon content in the euphotic layer. Average long-term estimates were performed for the spring-summer period (May–July) after “cold” and “warm” hydrological winters. It is shown that in the main part of the surveyed area, the spring-summer phytoplankton production was 1.5–2.0 times higher after warm winters than after cold winters.
