N$_2$ fixation rates were measurable at every station, but integrated (0-150 m) rates were an order of magnitude higher in the Solomon Sea (30 to 5449 $\mu$mol N m$^{-2}$ d$^{-1}$ compared to those measured in the Coral Sea (2 to 109 $\mu$ mol N m$^{-2}$ d$^{-1}$. Rates measured in the Solomon Sea were in the upper range (100-1000 mu mol N m$^{-2}$ d$^{-1}$ or higher than rates compiled in the global MARine Ecosystem biomass DATa database, indicating that this region has some of the highest N$_2$ fixation rates reported in the global ocean. While unicellular diazotrophic cyanobacteria from group A (UCYN-A1 and UCYN-A2) and the proteobacteria $\gamma$-24774A11 dominated in the Coral Sea and were correlated with N$_2$ fixation rates (p < 0.05), $Trichodesmium$ and UCYN-B dominated in the Solomon Sea and were correlated (p < 0.05) with N$_2$ fixation rates. UCYN-A were totally absent in the Solomon Sea. The biogeographical distribution of diazotrophs is discussed within the context of patterns in measured environmental parameters. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-01496543/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-01496543/file/2015GB005117.pdf %L hal-01496543 %U https://hal.science/hal-01496543 %~ IRD %~ SDE %~ CEA %~ INSU %~ METEO %~ MNHN %~ UNIV-BREST %~ UNIV-PARIS7 %~ X %~ ENS-PARIS %~ UPMC %~ UNIV-TLSE3 %~ UNIV-TLN %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ CNES %~ IFREMER %~ OMP %~ OMP-LEGOS %~ IUEM %~ X-DEP %~ LEMAR %~ OPENAIRE %~ THESES_IUEM %~ OLVAC %~ MIO %~ OSU-INSTITUT-PYTHEAS %~ GIP-BE %~ LOCEAN %~ UVSQ %~ PEPS %~ PSL %~ UNIV-PARIS-SACLAY %~ UVSQ-SACLAY %~ X-SACLAY %~ UNIV-POLYNESIE %~ LOPS %~ UPMC_POLE_3 %~ UPF %~ CMM %~ 443873 %~ SORBONNE-UNIVERSITE %~ SU-INF-2018 %~ SU-SCIENCES %~ FR-636 %~ UNIV-PARIS %~ UP-SCIENCES %~ MIO-EMBIO %~ MIO-CEM %~ ENS-PSL %~ UVSQ-UPSACLAY %~ MIO-CYBELE %~ SU-TI %~ ANR %~ ALLIANCE-SU %~ UNIV-UT3 %~ UT3-INP %~ UT3-TOULOUSEINP %~ IPSL_LOCEAN
