Why would surface water in the North sea be more likely to contain a high percentage of dissolved gases than the surface water in the Caribbean?

Surface water in the North Sea would be more likely to contain a high percentage of dissolved gases due to the colder temperature and higher levels of phytoplankton productivity leading to increased photosynthesis and subsequent gas exchange. In contrast, the warmer surface waters of the Caribbean have lower gas solubility and lower levels of phytoplankton productivity, resulting in lower levels of dissolved gases.
