[EN] Plankton is essentially variable in time and space. The results of the oceanographic cruises provide information on large scale distributions, but not on small scale patterns that are most important for the understanding of the workings of the pelagic ecosystem.

[ES] El plancton es esencialmente variable en el tiempo y en el espacio. Los procedimientos seguidos habitualmente en las expediciones oceanográficas permiten describir la distribución del plancton a grandes rasgos, pero no bastan para definir las estructuras importantes en la comprensión del funcionamiento del ecosistema pelágico.
