Abstract
•Low primary production in the mesoscale cyclonic eddies.•The proposed Stratification-Lock hypothesis explains this phenomenon.•A strong cooling of the sea temperature, calm weather and sun heating.•Strong thermal stratification dampened the upward flow of deep nutrients.•Relationship between thermal stratification and primary productivity.
