Answer:

areas beneath the subtropical highs

Step-by-step explanation:

Red end of spectrum is highest productivity, blue/violet end is lowest. The overall pattern with latitude is clearly visible: low productivity in the tropics and subtropics, probably due to nutrient limitation brought about by strong, year-round thermocline and pycnocline. North and South Atlantic: Large gyre systems, with low productivity.
