英文摘要Many ocean fronts are known to feature enhanced primary and secondary production and elevated biodiversity. The confluence of water masses on strong fronts promotes concentration of plankters (phytoplankton and small zooplankton) contributing to creation of oases in the oceanic desert for marine habitants, from small pelagic fish and turtles to seabirds and apex (top) predators. This article is a concise review of the role of ocean fronts in marine life, with a particular focus on their detection and tracking using satellite data and Lagrangian diagnostics. Using altimetry-based calculations of the indicators of water motion, it is shown how to identify circulation features with enhanced values of gradients of these indicators, the so-called Lagrangian fronts, which approximate locations of ocean fronts. The role of Lagrangian fronts, induced by horizontal stirring by large-scale currents, in structuring plankters and organizing spatial distribution of food resources in the open ocean is discussed as well. The paper emphasizes the importance of Lagrangian fronts in foraging strategy and as potential feeding grounds of pelagic fish, squid, seabirds, elephant seals, penguins and whales and their significance in marine ecology and fisheries.
