The correct answer is: A) These regions are rich in plankton during summer

Capelin populations do extensive seasonal migrations. During the spring and summer, Capelin fishes migrate for feeding in the plankton-rich oceanic area. Return migration occurs in September to November. Migration of those fishes is linked with ocean currents and water masses.
