摘要

In his seminal paper ‘‘The Paradox of the Plankton’’ G.E. Hutchinson (1961) asked: ‘‘How is it possible for a number of species to coexist in a relatively isotropic or unstructured environment all competing for the same sorts of materials?’’ Of course, we now know the oceans are anything but isotropic and unstructured. Heterogeneity in physical conditions and motions result in complex vertical and horizontal structures in the ocean, which, in turn, contribute to a similarly patchy and complex distribution of nutrients and plankton. This patchiness in physical, chemical and biological patterns spans all spatial scales, from millimeters to kilometers, in both vertical and horizontal dimensions. While much work has been done on elucidating pattern and structure at 10s of meters and larger scales (e.g. Cassie, 1963; Haury, 1976; Riley, 1976; Steele, 1978 (and references therein)), only recently have we begun to appreciate and quantify the ubiquity of fine-scale structures and thus, their full ecological importance.
