Extract

The analysis of the complex trophic relations characteristic of plankton communities is much simpler in an isolated body of water than in the open sea. In fact, in the open sea physical processes make many biological phenomena difficult to recognize, and advection and turbulence generally make it impossible to sample repetitively the same population of organisms for long periods of time.
