On a planetary scale, all living beings in the biosphere are closely interconnected by the ways in which the mechanisms that regulate energy fluxes and cycles of substances are organized: a single biocybernetic system of the highest rank. Within the continents and oceans—the structural units making up the biosphere—processes of energy and substance transformation take place automatically. Land biogeocenoses are characterized by distributed productivity, a function in many territories that is under the control of humans and therefore depends on development of scientific-technical progress. The World Ocean now provides about 1 % of resources consumed by humankind and practically remains an element of the biosphere not under human control. This low level is connected with the insufficiently studied production processes in the oceans.
